M82
High resolution 5GHz MERLIN+VLA imaging of the starburst galaxy M82

LeMMINGs is the Legacy e-MERLIN Multi-band Imaging of Nearby Galaxies Survey. This e-MERLIN Legacy survey has been granted in total 810hrs of e-MERLIN time during the first 5 semesters of e-MERLIN operations.

The aim of this project is to observe a large sample of nearby galaxies with sub-arcsecond angular resolution at micorJy sensitivities. Such observations will allow us to study a very wide range of astrophysical phenomena, such as supernovae and their remnants, HII regions, potentially extragalactic X-ray binaries, ULX source, planetary nebular, AGN and jets and much more.
