Perspectives with MeerKAT+

Dominik J. Schwarz
Universität Bielefeld

This presentation will provide an overview on the current state of MeerKAT and the new perspectives of its extension to MeerKAT+, a joint project by SARAO, MPG and INAF. Additional 14 antennas of the SKA Mid design are currently being added to the array and will be equipped with L- and S-band receivers, which will increase sensitivity and angular resolution of the current MeerKAT. Access to MeerKAT+ observations will be possible via open calls.
