The GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA eXtended (GLEAM-X) survey boasts twice the resolution, and up to an order of magnitude higher sensitivity to its predecessor the GLEAM survey. In 2020, observations for GLEAM-X were completed and the first data release covering 2,000 square degrees down to an RMS noise level of <1.5 mJy/beam was recently released. The second data release, covering an...
The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is currently the only instrument capable of deep, high-resolution imaging at frequencies below 100 MHz. Sources selected from the 3C catalogue are some of the best studied powerful radio galaxies, with the largest number of available sensitive and high (kpc-scale) resolution images at GHz frequencies, (still) driving our current understanding of their dynamics...
The Legacy 𝑒-MERLIN Multi-band Imaging of Nearby Galaxies survey (LeMMINGs) is a
statistically-complete census of nuclear accretion and star formation processes in the local Universe in active and not active galaxies. The LeMMINGs observations at 1.5 and 5 GHz yield angular resolutions on 10s milliarcsecond-scales, with sensitivities of 10s 𝜇Jy. Awarded 810 hours of observing time, the full...
The integration of S-band receivers into MeerKAT significantly enhances the telescope’s spectral coverage and angular resolution, allowing for the detailed study of morphologically interesting AGN and star-forming galaxies. In addition, it enables deeper observations for population studies of such sources, given the significantly lower confusion limit. We present the first continuum imaging...
MIGHTEE is a galaxy evolution survey currently underway with the MeerKAT radio telescope. Once complete, the survey will cover 20 square degrees in four fields to a depth of ~2 uJy rms/beam at 1.3 GHz, providing a unique combination of depth and breath. Crucially, the MIGHTEE fields have excellent multi-wavelength coverage, enabling a full census of galaxy properties.
I will describe recent...
