Hindustan Times — April 26, 2024, 03:00 AM UTC
Summary: Solar physicists from NCRA used MeerKAT in South Africa to capture detailed radio images of the Sun in just 15 minutes. Dr. Kansabanik and Dr. Mondal, both NCRA alumni, led the research. The Sun's radio emissions from the corona are crucial for understanding space weather. By employing a unique observing strategy, they overcame challenges to produce high-fidelity solar images. MeerKAT's capabilities offer a new frontier in solar physics.
