The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) is a national facility that is responsible for radio astronomy research and infrastructure development in South Africa. It manages key projects such as the MeerKAT telescope which is a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)-mid telescope. The Receivers Team at SARAO is primarily responsible for the production of Digitsers units for...

Contributed Talk

In this report, we present our recent study of the acceleration and collimation of the two-sided jets in the nearby low-luminosity AGN NGC 4261. We robustly identify a parabolic-to-conical structural transition in both the jet and counterjet, with the transition occurring on (sub)parsec scales. Based on the jet-to-counterjet brightness, we derive the jet velocity field at distances of ∼ (10^3...
