The RATT PARROT: serendipitous discovery of a peculiarly scintillating pulsar in MeerKAT imaging observations of the Great Saturn-Jupiter Conjunction of 2020. I. Dynamic imaging and data analysis
O. M. Smirnov, B. W. Stappers, C. Tasse +11
We report on a radiopolarimetric observation of the Saturn-Jupiter Great Conjunction of 2020 using the MeerKAT L-band system, initially carried out for science verification purpose…
Linear to circular conversion in the polarized radio emission of a magnetar
Marcus E. Lower, Simon Johnston, Maxim Lyutikov +13
Radio emission from magnetars provides a unique probe of the relativistic, magnetized plasma within the near-field environment of these ultra-magnetic neutron stars. The transmitte…
Discovery of an Extremely Intermittent Periodic Radio Source
M. P. Surnis, K. M. Rajwade, B. W. Stappers +12
We report the serendipitous discovery of an extremely intermittent radio pulsar, PSR J1710-3452, with a relatively long spin period of 10.4 s. The object was discovered through the…
Tied-Array Beam Localisation of Radio Transients and Pulsars
M. C. Bezuidenhout, C. J. Clark, R. P. Breton +8
Multi-element interferometers such as MeerKAT, which observe with high time resolution and have a wide field-of-view, provide an ideal opportunity to perform real-time, untargeted…
A sample of Fast Radio Bursts discovered and localised with MeerTRAP at the MeerKAT telescope
F. Jankowski, M. C. Bezuidenhout, M. Caleb +14
We present a sample of well-localised Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) discovered by the MeerTRAP project at the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. We discovered the three FRBs in single c…
FRB 20210405I: a nearby Fast Radio Burst localised to sub-arcsecond precision with MeerKAT
Laura Nicole Driessen, Ewan Barr, David Buckley +19
We present the first sub-arcsecond localised Fast Radio Burst (FRB) detected using MeerKAT. FRB 20210405I was detected in the incoherent beam using the MeerTRAP pipeline on 2021 Ap…
A sub-arcsec localised fast radio burst with a significant host galaxy dispersion measure contribution
M. Caleb, L. N. Driessen, A. C. Gordon +29
We present the discovery of FRB 20210410D, with the MeerKAT radio interferometer in South Africa, as part of the MeerTRAP commensal project. FRB 20210410D has a dispersion measure…
A rapid optical and X-ray timing study of the neutron star X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814
T. Shahbaz, J. A. Paice, K. M. Rajwade +8
We present a rapid timing analysis of optical (HiPERCAM and ULTRACAM) and X-ray (NICER) observations of the X-ray transient Swift J1858.6-0814 during 2018 and 2019. The optical lig…
