South Africa’s new radio telescope starts delivering high-quality science
June 13, 2013 Editor 0
South Africa’s first radio telescope array, the seven dish KAT-7 located in the Karoo, which was originally intended to be a prototype for the much larger MeerKAT array, has now established itself as an effective scientific instrument. The first scientific paper produced from research using KAT-7 was released online on May 16 by the UK journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (which is one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific journals in the world, and has been in continual publication for some 186 years).
