We have successfully replaced the GPU-cluster of the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR).
For the first time ionised hydrogen has been detected at the lowest frequency ever towards the centre of our Galaxy.
The international engineering consortium tasked with planning the AIV of the SKA has formally completed its work in another important engineering step towards construction of the telescope.
De Vederprijs gaat dit jaar naar Wim van Cappellen van ASTRON, het Nederlands Instituut voor Radioastronomie, voor zijn werk aan het Apertif-ontvangstsysteem van de Westerbork Synthese Radio Telescoop.
For the first time, astronomers have found two giant clusters of galaxies that are just about to collide.
Astronomers have found the ‘smoking gun’ of an ‘orphan’ gamma-ray burst afterglow. Gamma-ray bursts are brief, intense flashes of gamma-rays that are difficult to detect.
The National Science Agenda has awarded a 5 million euro grant to CORTEX – the Center for Optimal, Real-Time Machine Studies of the Explosive Universe.
For the first time ever, a stream of magnetic fields and relativistic electrons along a filament that connects the clusters of galaxies Abell 0399 and Abell 0401 has been identified.
Large spiral galaxies, such as our neighbour the Andromeda Galaxy, leave virtually no gas or dust particles unused during the formation of stars.
ASTRON, het Nederlands instituut voor radioastronomie, heeft samen met de Rabobank Het Drentse Land en de gemeente Westerveld de eerste Open Science Hub in Drenthe geopend.
The SKA’s SDP consortium has concluded its engineering design work, marking the end of five years’ work to design one of two supercomputers that will process the enormous amounts of data produced by the SKA’s telescopes.
