Journal Article
Hale, C., Whittam, I., Jarvis, M., Best, P., Thomas, N., Heywood, I., Prescott, M., Adams, N., Afonso, J., An, F., Bowler, R., Collier, J., Cook, R., Davé, R., Frank, B., Glowacki, M., Hatfield, P., Kolwa, S., Lovell, C., Maddox, N., …Taylor, A. (2023). MIGHTEE: deep 1.4 GHz source counts and the sky temperature contribution of star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 520(2), 2668 - 2691. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac3320

We present deep 1.4 GHz source counts from ∼5 deg2 of the continuum Early Science data release of the MeerKAT International Gigahertz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration survey down to S1.4GHz ∼15 μ Jy. Using observations over two extragalactic fields (... Read More about MIGHTEE: deep 1.4 GHz source counts and the sky temperature contribution of star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei.

(2022). MIGHTEE: the nature of the radio-loud AGN population. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 516(1), 245-263. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac2140

We study the nature of the faint radio source population detected in the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) Early Science data in the COSMOS field, focusing on the properties of the radio-loud active galactic nuclei...

The environments of the radio galaxy population in simba (2022)
Journal Article
Thomas, N., & Davé, R. (2022). The environments of the radio galaxy population in simba. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 515(4), 5539 - 5555. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac2175

We investigate the environmental properties of the z = 0 radio galaxy population using the SIMBA cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. We identify centrals and satellites from a population of high and low excitation radio galaxies (HERGs and LERGs) i... Read More about The environments of the radio galaxy population in simba.
