The SARAO MeerKAT 1.3 GHz Galactic Plane Survey

, ,
We present the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey (SMGPS), a 1.3 GHz continuum survey of almost half of the Galactic Plane ($251^\circ \le l \le 358^\circ$ and $2^\circ \le l \le 61^\circ$ at $|b| \le 1.5^\circ$). SMGPS is the…

Morphological classification of Radio Galaxies using Semi-Supervised Group Equivariant CNNs

, , ,
Out of the estimated few trillion galaxies, only around a million have been detected through radio frequencies, and only a tiny fraction, approximately a thousand, have been manually classified. We have addressed this disparity between labeled…

আজ থেকে প্রায় ১৩০ কোটি বছর আগে এক জোড়া সাধারণ ব্ল্যাকহোল একসাথে মিলে আরো বড় একটা ব্ল্যাকহোল…

Mining mini-halos with MeerKAT I. Calibration and imaging

, ,
Radio mini-halos are clouds of diffuse, low-surface brightness synchrotron emission that surround the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) in massive cool-core galaxy clusters. In this paper, we use third generation calibration (3GC), also called…

The 1.28 GHz MeerKAT Galactic Center Mosaic

, ,
The inner $\sim 200$ pc region of the Galaxy contains a 4 million $M_\odot$ supermassive black hole (SMBH), significant quantities of molecular gas, and star formation and cosmic-ray energy densities that are roughly two orders of magnitude…

The 1.28 GHz MeerKAT DEEP2 Image

, ,
We present the confusion-limited 1.28 GHz MeerKAT DEEP2 image covering one $\theta_b\approx 68'$ FWHM primary-beam area with $\theta=7.6^{''}$ FWHM resolution and $\sigma_n=0.55\pm 0.01$ $\mu$Jy beam$^{-1}$ rms noise. Its J2000 center position…
