In particular, I will highlight the importance of neutral hydrogen gas for our understanding of galaxy evolution in clusters. I will also discuss the ongoing multi-wavelength observational campaigns linked to this project. Finally, I will talk about the general specs of the MeerKAT telescope, and of the importance of this telescope for other science of interest at OAC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4664","seminari","type-seminari","status-publish","hentry","categorie_seminari-colloquium"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seminari\/4664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seminari"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/seminari"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
