Enabling Astronomy at Scale with AARNet and Globus

AARNet

The South African MeerKAT radio telescope is a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope. Credit: South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO).

Astronomers studying long-period radio transients with South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope generate up to 2 TB per session. Using Globus over AARNet’s high-speed network, they transfer data to Australia quickly and reliably, enabling rapid analysis, refining observations, and sustaining scientific momentum across vast international distances.
