Yesterday marked International Women in Engineering Day. We at ASTRON are very proud of our women engineers. Two of those are Ágnes Mika and Paula Fusiara.
Origin of fast radio bursts come into focus through polarized light
Non-repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) probably originate from galaxies similar to our Milky Way.

Throughout the summer, these talented individuals have been engaged in a variety of exciting research projects, exploring topics that range from receiver calibration and observing with the Dwingeloo telescope to the Sun, pulsar timing, exoplanets and VLBI. Their hard work culminates in presentations during our Astrolunch series, where they will share their findings and insights throughout August.
We encourage everyone to attend these engaging talks and support our summer students as they showcase their innovative research and discoveries. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the next generation of astronomers!
