Paper day! Yesterday in @RAS_Journals #MNRAS, today on @_arXiv_astro_ph! Among other things in the complex cluster Abell 3266, we found a radio halo. This is a discovery almost a decade in the making - buckle up, it's story time... 1/n 
(For a link to the paper, see my Tweet yesterday...).
My work on A3266 starts back in the mists of my early PhD. The year was 2013 and I spent a month in Cape Town helping commission KAT-7 (the #MeerKAT precursor) at the @SKA_Africa CT office. 2/n

During that time, I worked on KAT-7 observations of Abell 3667, another cluster that I wrote up as my first first-author paper (10.1093/mnras/stu2591).
Abell 3266 came up as another target of interest - a merging cluster with only shallow radio data... 3/n
