Breakthrough Listen's Automated Commensal Technosignature Survey with MeerKAT
Daniel J. Czech, David H. E. MacMahon, Ian Heywood +20
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is an ongoing effort to detect technosignatures, evidence of technologically capable life beyond Earth. Conducting a comprehensi…
HI gas in the rejuvenated radio galaxy PKS 2014-55
Leon Mtshweni, Kshitij Thorat, Roger P. Deane +17
We present new high-spectral-resolution MeerKAT observations of absorption against the central region of the restarted, giant, X-shaped radio galaxy PKS2014-55, which…
Mining the time axis with TRON. I. Millisecond pulsars in Omega Centauri, Terzan 5 and 47 Tucanae detected through MeerKAT interferometric imaging
Oleg M. Smirnov, Ian Heywood, Marisa Geyer +13
Medium-timescale (minutes to hours) radio transients are a relatively unexplored population. The wide field-of-view and high instantaneous sensitivity of instruments such as MeerKA…
Mining the time axis with TRON. II. MeerKAT detects a stellar radio flare from a distant RS CVn candidate
Oleg M. Smirnov, Aaron Golden, Talon Myburgh +14
Medium-timescale (minutes to hours) radio transients are a relatively unexplored population. The wide field-of-view and high instantaneous sensitivity of instruments such as MeerKA…
Africanus III. pfb-imaging -- a flexible radio interferometric imaging suite
Hertzog L. Bester, Jonathan S. Kenyon, Audrey Repetti +8
The popularity of the CLEAN algorithm in radio interferometric imaging stems from its maturity, speed, and robustness. While many alternatives have been proposed in the literature,…
