Understanding the evolution of the atomic gas (HI) content of galaxies remains one of the key challenges in the study of galaxy evolution. The sensitivity of the current generation of radio telescopes is insufficient to detect HI from individual galaxies at...

Radio galaxies are twin-lobed structures visible in the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which typically extend 100-1,000 kilo-parsecs end to end. The lobes are the result of two opposing jets coming out of the central black hole of these galaxies. These...

Intensity mapping is a novel technique that uses the Hydrogen emission at radio wavelengths of galaxies as a proxy for galaxy distribution on large scales. The statistical properties of this distribution help us understand the cosmological principles of our Universe....

High time resolution radio surveys over the last decade have discovered a population of millisecond-duration transient bursts called Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) of unknown. Only 18 of these bursts have been detected to date, and their origin – whether extragalactic or at...

The Universe experienced an “Epoch of Reionisation” (EoR) at redshift z ≥ 6 during which the cosmic diffuse neutral hydrogen (HI) was “photo-ionised” by a background of ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray radiation. This radiation was produced by the...
