Masters-level research project on Observations of high redshift galaxy clusters with MeerKAT

A postgraduate research opportunity for a Master's student to analyze MeerKAT observations of three high redshift galaxy clusters (z > 0.4) to study their radio properties and test models of radio halo formation. The project is supervised by Prof Oleg Smirnov and Prof Gianni Bernardi.

Who it is for: Master's students in Astronomy/Astrophysics
How to act on it: Apply to register as a postgraduate student at Rhodes University with the proposed research topic under the supervision of Prof Oleg Smirnov and Prof Gianni Bernardi.
