Master's Research Project: HI Imaging of the Norma Cluster with MeerKAT

This opportunity allows a master's student to conduct research on the neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) properties of galaxies within the Norma cluster using the MeerKAT telescope. The project focuses on understanding how the harsh cluster environment affects gas content and star formation in galaxies.

Who it is for: master's students in astronomy or astrophysics at Rhodes University
How to act on it: Apply through the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory’s research proposal process, under supervision by Mpati Ramatsoku and Oleg Smirnov.
