Abstract
The Square Kilometre Array, the world largest radio telescope on Earth, is being built in South Africa and Australia, with the mid and low frequency arrays of this telescope being built in these respective countries. South Africa has already built the precursor instrument called MeerKAT, in preparation for this, offering unprecedented sensitivity and resolution at the L-band frequency. We have some of the first reduced data from this telescope, that were originally proposed and competitively awarded time with the telescope to study candidates of proto-clusters (Ding, Clements, Leeuw et al. 2024). This paper will study some of the auxiliary detections made in those observations, which are estimated to constitute more than 5000 radio sources in each of the three fields that were observed. The goal of the project will be to explore selected sources with a diverse flux range to characterize and analyze them in search of any special characteristics of the sources as representatives of the broad sources in the field.
