Insights into galaxy evolution from radio observations and simulations from current radio facilities in the lead up to the Square Kilometre Array Observatory
Project2
With the advent of many recent data releases from the precursor and pathfinder facilities to the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO; such as from ASKAP, e-MERLIN, LOFAR and MeerKAT), a wide range of new and exciting science is being investigated. Observations from these new instruments are transforming our understanding of radio Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Star Forming Galaxies (SFGs). These new datasets, together with complementary simulations, are informing our knowledge of what will be possible with the SKAO. In this session, we will provide an opportunity to facilitate the discussion of the exciting, state of the art research into galaxies and galaxy evolution with radio observations. This will focus on a combination of radio continuum science, HI science, polarisation data and predictions from simulations. This session will highlight the wealth of research currently being performed, which is possible due to observations from these state-of-the-art radio facilities, as well as allowing discussions of the exciting science we can expect for the future. We will cover a diverse range of topics including, but not limited to: the evolution of AGN, HI dynamics and mass functions, star formation across cosmic time, cosmology with radio surveys and understanding feedback mechanisms in simulations of radio AGN. With the recent flurry of science from these telescope facilities, we believe now is an excellent time to have such a session, and highlight all the important and exciting research within the UK astronomy community.
