Come join us at @ASTRON_NL as a Bell Burnell Fellow! We are searching for the next leaders in radio astronomy, whether that is scientific or technical (or both!). Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. aas.org/jobregister/ad…


🌌 #SpaceX's 2nd gen Starlink satellites are leaking up to 32 times more unintended radio waves than the 1st gen, potentially blinding telescopes like LOFAR and jeopardizing our understanding of the Universe! #Starlink #RadioInterference astron.nl/starlink-satel…

I am incredibly lucky and privileged to announce that I have been awarded an @ERC_Research starting grant! I will be using it to discover the space weather of other worlds using telescopes such as @LOFAR and @SKAO at @ASTRON #ERCStG

Opening ceremony for @LOFAR becoming a European Research Infrastructure consortium! Sadly we have a classic summer Dutch day, with the weather not being considerate to the milestone.

Using a new calibration technique, LOFAR can produce even sharper radio galaxy images than before.

Radio astronomers bypass disturbing Earth's atmosphere with new calibration technique. 📖 Paper by Groeneveld et al. in @NatureAstronomy 👉 News: astronomie.nl/nieuws/en/radi… 📡 Image: LOFAR/Groeneveld et al. cc: @LeidenScience @UniLeiden @astron_nl #astronomy

Radio/X-ray study of cool-core clusters, by Biava+ The connection between sloshing, cold fronts, mini halos and diffuse radio emission on broader scale is investigated with @LOFAR and @chandraxray in 12 clusters. Sloshing is key for diffuse radio emission! arxiv.org/abs/2403.09802
