In this businessline podcast, Chhaya Dhanani, Portfolio Head Engineering for Research, Thoughtworks, provides valuable insights into the MeerKAT radio telescope.  The MeerKAT telescope is a cutting-edge radio telescope located in South Africa. Unlike optical telescopes, MeerKAT can capture radio signals day and night, making it highly sensitive. It consists of 64 antennas and serves as a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), set to be the largest and most sensitive radio telescope in the Southern Hemisphere.  In 2018, Thoughtworks, a digital transformation consultancy, joined forces with the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) in Pune for a two-year collaboration. Together, they aimed to specialise in data processing software for MeerKAT.  Thoughtworks contribution to the MeerKAT project involves building an automated image processing pipeline called "ARTIP." This pipeline handles the massive amount of data generated by MeerKAT, eliminating noise, calibrating signals, and automating data processing, significantly speeding up the analysis process.  This collaboration has led to two significant discoveries, including the detection of rare hydrogen atoms in distant galaxies, offering insights into celestial body formation and gas generation.  MeerKAT's impact on radio astronomy is multifaceted. It will enable scientists to study galaxies, black holes, gravitational waves, dark energy, and the origins of life. Additionally, it has driven innovation in high-performance computing, accelerators, storage mechanisms, and energy-efficient solutions. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the unknown and advance both scientific knowledge and technological capabilities.  Overall, this conversation highlights the exciting developments in radio astronomy, the role of automation and technology in data processing, and the significance of the MeerKAT radio telescope.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-line/message

Image plane detection of FRB121102 with the MeerKAT radio telescope by J. C. Andrianjafy et al. on Wednesday 23 November We present the analysis of radio interferometric 2-s images from a MeerKAT observation of the repeating fast radio burst FRB121102 on September 2019, during which 11 distinct pulses have been previously detected using high time and frequency resolution data cubes. In this work, we detected 6 out of the 11 bursts in the image plane at 1.48 GHz with a minimum peak signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 5 {sigma} and a fluence detection limit of 0.512 Jy ms. These constitute the first detections of a fast radio burst (FRB) or a radio transient using 2-s timescale images with MeerKAT data. Analysis of the fitted burst properties revealed a weighted average precision of 1 arcsec in the localization of the bursts. The accurate knowledge of FRB positions is essential for identifying their host galaxy and understanding their mysterious nature which is still unresolved to this day. We also produced 2-s images at 1.09 GHz but yielded no detection which we attributed to the spectral structure of the pulses that are mostly higher in strength in the upper frequencies. We also explore a new approach to difference imaging analysis (DIA) to search for transients and find that our technique has the potential to reduce the number of candidates and could be used to automate the detection of FRBs in the image plane for future MeerKAT observations. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.12257v1

Sciences with Thai National Radio Telescope by Phrudth Jaroenjittichai et al. on Tuesday 11 October This White Paper summarises potential key science topics to be achieved with Thai National Radio Telescope (TNRT). The commissioning phase has started in mid 2022. The key science topics consist of "Pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)", "Star Forming Regions (SFRs)", "Galaxy and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs)", "Evolved Stars", "Radio Emission of Chemically Peculiar (CP) Stars", and "Geodesy", covering a wide range of observing frequencies in L/C/X/Ku/K/Q/W-bands (1-115 GHz). As a single-dish instrument, TNRT is a perfect tool to explore time domain astronomy with its agile observing systems and flexible operation. Due to its ideal geographical location, TNRT will significantly enhance Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) arrays, such as East Asian VLBI Network (EAVN), Australia Long Baseline Array (LBA), European VLBI Network (EVN), in particular via providing a unique coverage of the sky resulting in a better complete "uv" coverage, improving synthesized-beam and imaging quality with reducing side-lobes. This document highlights key science topics achievable with TNRT in single-dish mode and in collaboration with VLBI arrays. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.04926v1

Searching for axion dark matter with MeerKAT Radio Telescope by Yun-Fan Zhou et al. on Tuesday 20 September Axions provide a natural and well-motivated dark matter candidate, with the capability to convert directly to photons in the presence of an electromagnetic field. A particularly compelling observational target is the conversion of dark matter axions into photons in the magnetospheres of highly magnetised neutron stars, which is expected to produce a narrow spectral peak centred at the frequency of the axion mass. We point the MeerKAT radio telescope towards the isolated neutron star J0806.4$-$4123 for $10$-hours of observation and obtain the radio spectra in the frequency range $769$-$1051$ MHz. By modelling the conversion process of infalling axion dark matter (DM) we then compare these spectra to theoretical expectations for a given choice of axion parameters. Whilst finding no signal above $5sigma$ in the data, we provide a unique constraint on the Primakoff coupling of axion DM, $g_{{rm a}gammagamma}lesssim 9.3 times 10^{-12},{rm GeV}^{-1}$ at the $95%$ confidence level, in the mass range $3.18$-$4.35,mu$eV. This result serves the strongest constraint in the axion mass range $4.20$-$4.35,mu$eV. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09695v1

A Q-band line survey towards Orion KL using the Tianma radio telescope by Xunchuan Liu et al. on Wednesday 07 September We have conducted a line survey towards Orion KL using the Q-band receiver of Tianma 65 m radio telescope (TMRT), covering 34.8--50 GHz with a velocity resolution between 0.79 km s$^{-1}$ and 0.55 km s$^{-1}$ respectively. The observations reach a sensitivity on the level of 1-8 mK, proving that the TMRT is sensitive for conducting deep line surveys. In total, 597 Gaussian features are extracted. Among them, 177 radio recombination lines (RRLs) are identified, including 126, 40 and 11 RRLs of hydrogen, helium and carbon, with a maximum $Delta n$ of 16, 7, and 3, respectively. The carbon RRLs are confirmed to originate from photodissociation regions with a $V_{rm LSR}sim$9 km s$^{-1}$. In addition, 371 molecular transitions of 53 molecular species are identified. Twenty-one molecular species of this survey were not firmly detected in the Q band by Rizzo et al. (2017), including species such as H$_2$CS, HCOOH, C$_2$H$_5$OH, H$_2^{13}$CO, H$_2$CCO, CH$_3$CHO, CH$_2$OCH$_2$, HCN $v_2=1$, and CH$_3$OCHO $v_t=1$. In particular, the vibrationally excited states of ethyl cyanide (C$_2$H$_5$CN $v$13/$v$21) are for the first time firmly detected in the Q band. NH$_3$ (15,15) and (16,16) are identified, and they are so far the highest transitions of the NH$_3$ inversion lines detected towards Orion KL. All the identified lines can be reproduced by a radiative transfer model. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.03067v1

How to Deploy a 10-km Interferometric Radio Telescope on the Moon with Just Four Tethered Robots by Patrick McGarey et al. on Tuesday 06 September The Far-side Array for Radio Science Investigations of the Dark ages and Exoplanets (FARSIDE) is a proposed mission concept to the lunar far side that seeks to deploy and operate an array of 128 dual-polarization, dipole antennas over a region of 100 square kilometers. The resulting interferometric radio telescope would provide unprecedented radio images of distant star systems, allowing for the investigation of faint radio signatures of coronal mass ejections and energetic particle events and could also lead to the detection of magnetospheres around exoplanets within their parent star's habitable zone. Simultaneously, FARSIDE would also measure the "Dark Ages" of the early Universe at a global 21-cm signal across a range of red shifts (z approximately 50-100). Each discrete antenna node in the array is connected to a central hub (located at the lander) via a communication and power tether. Nodes are driven by cold=operable electronics that continuously monitor an extremely wide-band of frequencies (200 kHz to 40 MHz), which surpass the capabilities of Earth-based telescopes by two orders of magnitude. Achieving this ground-breaking capability requires a robust deployment strategy on the lunar surface, which is feasible with existing, high TRL technologies (demonstrated or under active development) and is capable of delivery to the surface on next-generation commercial landers, such as Blue Origin's Blue Moon Lander. This paper presents an antenna packaging, placement, and surface deployment trade study that leverages recent advances in tethered mobile robots under development at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which are used to deploy a flat, antenna-embedded, tape tether with optical communication and power transmission capabilities. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.02216v1

Brett McGuire is among the pioneers looking beyond the Earth's atmosphere and discovering a surprising and fascinatingly complex chemical world that defies imagination and provides intriguing new insights into the origin of the chemistry we know. In one of our most fascinating episodes yet, Paolo and Brett discuss astrochemistry, the study of chemistry in outer space. Chemistry in space is unique because it is atmosphere and solvation free, and temperature is really low. By scanning radio telescope spectra, astrochemists are discovering hundreds of complex organic molecules in the spaces between stars and are developing intriguing new theories on the origin of our chemical reservoir, the reasons for biological L- chirality, and how life could vary in different parts of the universe. If you're tempted to dismiss this as mere curiosity, you will be surprised by how efforts to study chemistry happening light years away from our planet are often the key to revolutionizing chemistry here on Earth.
