Distinguishing between a GRB orphan afterglow scenario and a tidal disruption scenario for Askap J005512-255834 will require simultaneous radio observations with ASKAP, MeerKAT, and SKA and X-ray observations with Swift and Einstein Probe.
MeerKAT is located in the Karoo desert in South Africa.
Current receivers used on MeerKAT cover a frequency range of 0.58 to 3.5 GHz.
Grazia Umana coordinates the MeerKAT Band 5B project and is a researcher at INAF.
Italy and South Africa are collaborating in astrophysical research to enhance the MeerKAT radio telescope.
The project involves implementing 64 5B-band receiving systems on each MeerKAT antenna, which includes receivers developed by the Max Planck Institute in Germany under contract with INAF.
The receiving system for MeerKAT will cover the frequency range from 8.3 to 15.4 GHz.
The PNRR STILES project is intended to strengthen Italian leadership in ELT and SKA through the addition of 64 new 5B-band digitizers to MeerKAT.
The implementation of the 5B band will significantly enhance MeerKAT's ability to conduct radio investigations of the universe with higher frequencies and resolution.
A megamaser produced by a galaxy collision was detected by the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa in April 2022.
SKA-Mid in South Africa will feature 197 dishes, including the 64 dishes of the existing MeerKAT array.
