Radio continuum images of Abell 2142 with MeerKAT at 1283 MHz (left) and LOFAR at 143 MHz (right), shown at 10 arcesc resolution. Colourscale ranges from −2σ to 300σ on an arcsinh stretch to emphasise diffuse emission. Contours start at 4σ and scale by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$, where σ = 7.5 (80.3) μJy beam⁻¹ at 1283 MHz (143 MHz). Dashed contours denote the −3σ level. The dot-dashed circle traces a radius of 1 Mpc around the centre of Abell 2142. Labels identify features and sources that will be discussed in this paper.
