Paper day! The first radio luminosity functions done by physical process - AGN activity vs star formation - instead of galaxy classification using @LOFAR We show 50% more radio emission from AGN than expected in the radio faint population. 😱 arxiv.org/abs/2411.05069

It's fantastic to see the emphasis this year's #IAU conference is placing on astronomy education. Our outreach team had the chance to head to some local schools yesterday to share what we do - thanks to the schools for having us, and the IAU for organising the visit!

I wrote an article for @ConversationEDU covering our latest research paper about a massive gas outflow from a nearby galaxy. Check it out below! #space #science #astronomy #galaxies theconversation.com/we-mapped-a-ma…

Think finding one galaxy is impressive? How about 49 - in under 3 hours: icrar.org/49galaxies/

Publication day! And I wrote an article about this too. We were using MeerKAT to look for HI absorption, but in the data found 49 detections of HI emission instead. I'm okay with this. theconversation.com/we-went-lookin…
