The discovery of a z=0.7092 OH megamaser with the MIGHTEE survey

We present the discovery of the most distant OH megamaser to be observed in the main lines, using data from the MeerKAT International Giga-Hertz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) survey. At a newly measured redshift of 𝑧 = 0.7092, the system has strong emission in both the 1665 MHz (𝐿 ≈ 250...
