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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Astronomers have uncovered a massive hidden structure in the Universe that had remained concealed behind the dust and stars of our own Milky Way galaxy. Using a new hybrid technique that combines ...
