The MeerKAT (64 x 13.5m dish radio interferometer) is South Africa's precursor instrument for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), exploring dish design, instrumentation and the site in the Karoo desert. MeerKAT is projected to be on sky in 2015. One of two approved, top-priority, Key Projects, is a single deep field, integrating for 5000 hours total with the aim to detect neutral atomic hydrogen through its 21 cm line emission out to redshift unity.
This first truly deep HI survey will help constrain fueling models for galaxy assembly and evolution, the evolution of cosmic neutral gas density of the Universe over cosmic time, evolution in the star-formation law (the Schmidt-Kennicutt law), distance indicators such as the Tully-Fisher relation, and much more.
Here we present the specifications, timeline, and envisaged science case for this unique deep field, which encompasses the Chandra Deep Field-South (and the footprints of GOODS, GEMS and several other surveys) to produce a singular legacy multi-wavelength data-set.
