Astronomers have found the first convincing “microblazar” in our Galaxy — a star with a black hole orbiting around it, firing a beam of near-light-speed matter almost straight towards Earth. Its ...
Astronomers may have just confirmed one of the most bizarre aspects of quantum physics: that seemingly empty space can alter the behaviour of light. This phenomenon, called ‘vacuum birefringence’, was ...
South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope has successfully conducted very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations with telescopes of the European VLBI Network (EVN)—currently the world’s most ...
An international team of astronomers made the most detailed images of the largest cosmic shock wave visible from earth. These gigantic shock waves are much larger than our entire galaxy and they form ...
A team of astronomers from South Africa and the US have used the MeerKAT telescope to solve a longstanding puzzle in ‘X’-shaped radio galaxies. The galaxy PKS 2014-55, located 800 million light years ...
This two-day MeerKAT pulsar timing workshop, hosted for the first time in September 2021, introduces students to pulsar timing science, including the required softwares and data analysis techniques ...
The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) has released today a new MeerKAT telescope image of the centre of our Galaxy, showing radio emission from the region with unprecedented clarity ...
Diligent observing with the MeerKAT radio telescope in the Northern Karoo, of a network of rapidly spinning neutron stars over the last five years, has unveiled additional evidence for the presence of ...
University of Pretoria-led team opens a new frontier using the power of MeerKAT and strong gravitational lensing Astronomers using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa have discovered the most ...
An international team of astronomers using the MeerKAT telescope has discovered enormous balloon-like structures that tower hundreds of light-years above and below the centre of our galaxy. Caused by ...
A million radio sources probe the motion of the solar system and provide a fundamental test of cosmology Using data from the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers from the ...
The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO), a facility of the National Research Foundation, is responsible for managing all radio astronomy initiatives and facilities in South Africa, ...
