Recent MeerKAT Imaging Adventures
Abstract
The South African MeerKAT telescope has produced numerous spectacular results in the four years that have passed since its inauguration. This has largely been the result of both the unprecedented imaging capabilities of the instrument, as well as the significant amount of observing time that has been invested in community and observatory-led large survey programs. I will present some results from three such projects that I have been lucky enough to be involved in, covering extragalactic deep fields, observations of an unusual pulsar, and concluding with some recent views of the centre of our own Galaxy.
