Description
The successful commissioning of MeerKAT is opening new parameter space for observations of HI, enabling large-area surveys spanning cosmological redshifts to be undertaken. MIGHTEE, the medium-deep survey with the South African SKA precursor MeerKAT, will cover 30 square degrees commensally in both radio continuum and spectral line modes. Early science data products confirm the excellent sensitivity of MeerKAT. Incorporating the extensive ancillary data within the survey fields, MIGHTEE-HI is ready to produce results spanning many aspects of HI science at moderate redshift, and provide a link between the existing $z \sim 0$ observations and the upcoming deep HI surveys.
| Wish list question? | 12. How can a z ~ 0 HI survey usefully inform the analysis of a z ~ 1 HI survey – and perhaps vice versa? |
