A new University of Cape Town (UCT) study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal has shed fresh light on the classic connection between infrared and radio light in galaxies.

- STAFF REPORTER

The research titled: “Probing the Infrared/Radio correlation of the full IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample with MeerKAT and the VLA", is led by Malebo Moloko, a PhD candidate in astronomy at UCT.

It explores how galaxies’ glow in infrared light and is linked to their powerful radio emissions, using cutting-edge data from South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope and the United States’ Very Large Array (VLA).
