Extragalactic VLBI surveys in the MeerKAT era

Abstract
The past decade has seen significant advances in cm-wave VLBI extragalactic observations due to a wide range of technical successes, including the increase in processed field-of-view and bandwidth. The future inclusion of MeerKAT into global VLBI networks would provide further enhancement, particularly the dramatic sensitivity boost to $>7000$~km baselines. This will not be without its limitations, however, considering incomplete MeerKAT band overlap with current VLBI arrays and the small (real-time) field-of-view afforded by the phased up MeerKAT array. We provide a brief overview of the significant contributions MeerKAT-VLBI could make, with an emphasis on the scientific output of several MeerKAT extragalactic Large Survey Projects.
