An international team led by a young South African researcher, Dr. Kenda Knowles, announced a comprehensive overview paper for the MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey (MGCLS) in November. The paper, to be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, presents some novel results and is accompanied by the public release of a huge trove of curated data. This will allow astronomers worldwide to address a variety of challenging questions, such as those relating to the formation and evolution of galaxies throughout the universe.
