Wideband spectropolarimetry of extragalactic radio sources with KAT 7 and commissioning phase MeerKAT

The study of cosmic magnetism is vital in fully understanding the role that magnetic fields play in the evolution of cosmological objects such as galaxies. The exact role played by magnetism in galaxy evolution is still not fully understood. This work aims to use wide band radio polarimetry to probe...
