Kimberly Emig talking about radio recombination lines with the SKA and how to observe them in galaxies through cosmic time! Recent detection of PKS 1830-211 at z=0.89 with MeerKAT and combined with HI & OH can say a lot of gas properties and what kind of a star forming galaxy it is. #skao2025 🔭📡
Slide of all the radio recombination lines that are available in SKA bands. Graphic of the gravitational lens in which the radio recombination lines were detected. Slide of the derived properties of the galaxy: density of the gas, star formation rate surface density, SFR = 50 M_Sun/yr Slide with plots showing the galaxy appears to be a main sequence galaxy, that sits on Kennicutt-Schmidt relation.

ngVLA prototype antenna construction is nearly complete! We had some snow in New Mexico recently, but the finishing touches should be happening very soon. 📡❄️
