MeerKATHI is the current development name for a radio-interferometric data reduction pipeline, assembled by an international collaboration. We create a publicly available end-to-end continuum- and line imaging pipeline for MeerKAT and other radio telescopes. We implement advanced techniques that are suitable for producing high-dynamic-range continuum images and spectroscopic data cubes. Using containerization, our pipeline is platform-independent. Furthermore, we are applying a standardized approach for using a number of different of advanced software suites, partly developed within our group. We aim to use distributed computing approaches throughout our pipeline to enable the user to reduce larger data sets like those provided by radio telescopes such as MeerKAT. The pipeline also delivers a set of imaging quality metrics that give the user the opportunity to efficiently assess the data quality.

  1. The MeerKAT Fornax Survey VII. Characterisation of the Fornax cluster's magnetic field and new insights on magnetisation in large scale systems

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Fornax cluster magnetic field follows a power-law spectrum of slope ~2.7 with central strength ~5 μG scaling as n^1.6, consistent with recent central re-amplification and trends across 17 clusters.

  2. Fast Simultaneous Surveys with On-the-Fly Mapping

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    MeerKLASS applies on-the-fly imaging on MeerKAT for a 10,000 sq. deg. UHF-band continuum survey at 14 arcsec resolution and 25 μJy/beam rms, run commensally with HI intensity mapping.

  3. AGN Feeding & Feedback Over the Galactic Scales

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    SKAO will trace synchrotron jets, thermal emission, and low-column-density HI gas in nearby AGN to characterize duty cycles and multi-phase feeding/feedback linked to star formation.
