Deep radio continuum wide-field observations of a population of faint radio sources

The discovery of faint mJy radio sources has challenged our current understanding of star formation and galaxy evolution in general. MeerKAT/MIGHTEE Large Science Project aims to address such a key science area. But until the South African precursor of the Square Kilometre Array telescope becomes fully operational, science commissioning projects using low-frequency wide-field surveys from the VLA and the GMRT are being used to acquire the necessary skills well in advance.
