Description: | The week of SKA meetings (mostly related to aperture arrays) in early April was concluded by a site visit to ASTRON's observatories. The group was joined by Monique Sluiman, our new management assistant (2nd from left). We started in Westerbork where all were impressed at the sight of the array of 25m WSRT dishes. The secrets of the EMBRACE aperture array were revealed by Andre Gunst and Ilse van Bemmel, who flung open the doors of its dome. After a quick cup of coffee, the trip was continued to LOFAR, where a visit to the Superterp allowed people to see the LBA and HBA antennas for real. |
