What this means

This document is a research project proposal for a master's thesis titled 'A MIGHTEE investigation into ‘radio-quiet’ AGN', submitted to SARAO. It outlines a study using MeerKAT data to investigate the origin of radio emission in galaxies with supermassive black holes that do not produce strong radio jets. The project is supervised by Prof Oleg Smirnov and Dr Sarah White and requires student registration at Rhodes University.

Master's research project on A MIGHTEE investigation into ‘radio-quiet’ AGN

This opportunity allows a master's student to conduct research using MeerKAT data from the MIGHTEE survey to study radio-quiet active galactic nuclei. The project aims to determine whether radio emission in these galaxies comes primarily from star formation or black-hole accretion, and how this affects galaxy evolution.

Who it is for: master's students in astronomy or astrophysics
How to act on it: Supervisors must propose this project through SARAO; students must be registered at Rhodes University and work under the supervision of Prof Oleg Smirnov or Dr Sarah White.

Show the line this came from

We have already witnessed the extraordinary sensitivity of MeerKAT to faint radio emission, and in this project we will exploit this for studying large samples of ‘radio-quiet’ active galaxies.
