ThunderKAT: The MeerKAT Large Survey Project for Image-Plane Radio Transients
R. Fender, P. A. Woudt, R. Armstrong +59
ThunderKAT is the image-plane transients programme for MeerKAT. The goal as outlined in 2010, and still today, is to find, identify and understand high-energy astrophysical process…
The OmegaWhite survey for short-period variable stars - V. Discovery of an ultracompact hot subdwarf binary with a compact companion in a 44 minute orbit
T. Kupfer, G. Ramsay, J. van Roestel +20
We report the discovery of the ultracompact hot subdwarf (sdOB) binary OW J074106.0-294811.0 with an orbital period of P min, making it the…
Multiwavelength observations of nova SMCN 2016-10a --- one of the brightest novae ever observed
E. Aydi, K. L. Page, N. P. M. Kuin +17
We report on multiwavelength observations of nova SMCN 2016-10a. The present observational set is one of the most comprehensive for any nova in the Small Magellanic Cloud, includin…
An Overview of the MHONGOOSE Survey: Observing Nearby Galaxies with MeerKAT
W. J. G. de Blok, E. A. K. Adams, P. Amram +65
MHONGOOSE is a deep survey of the neutral hydrogen distribution in a representative sample of 30 nearby disk and dwarf galaxies with HI masses from 10^6 to ~10^{11} M_sun, and lumi…
Paving the way to simultaneous multi-wavelength astronomy
M. J. Middleton, P. Casella, P. Gandhi +49
Whilst astronomy as a science is historically founded on observations at optical wavelengths, studying the Universe in other bands has yielded remarkable discoveries, from pulsars…
The OmegaWhite Survey for Short-Period Variable Stars IV: Discovery of the warm DQ white dwarf OW J175358.85-310728.9
S. A. Macfarlane, P. A. Woudt, P. Dufour +10
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of the second known variable warm DQ white dwarf OW J175358.85-310728.9 (OW J1753-3107). OW J1753-3107 is the brightest of any o…
