MeerKAT Unveils New Giant Radio Galaxy
Astronomers using the MeerKAT radio telescope have discovered a new giant radio galaxy, MGTC J100022.85+031520.4, in the COSMOS field. This galaxy, hosted by an elliptical galaxy with a redshift of 0.1034, spans about 4.2 million light years and is one of the few GRGs located in a galaxy cluster. The discovery, part of the MIGHTEE survey, provides insights into the formation and evolution of radio sources.
