Our latest result on the observation of a merging cluster by a state-of-the-art radio interferometer MeerKAT, published in Nature.
A black hole (marked by the red x) at the centre of galaxy MRC 0600-399 emits a jet of particles that bends into a 'double-scythe' T-shape that follows the magnetic field lines at the galaxy subcluster's boundary.

A GALEX image of a nearby spiral galaxy M31 (Andromeda galaxy). We make an extensive use of GALEX ultraviolet data for the analysis of star formation in galaxies, which is a unique strategy of our Lab.
