Astronomy Pretty Poster Pageant (APPP) 2014

Submitter:	Joeri van Leeuwen
Description:	To celebrate and decorate their revamped wing of the building, the Astronomy Group recently organized the "Astronomy Pretty Poster Pageant (APPP) 2014", for catchy, visual, and colorful posters based on an astronomical image. The best of the 46 (!) submitted posters will be placed around the AG corridors, with a large attractive display for the winning poster, as determined by an eminent judging committee. The winners of the event, shown above, were: (1st) Tom Oosterloo, "M101", a new, sharp, colorful image from the last deep observation of the pre-Apertif WSRT (2nd) John McKean, "Global VLBI imaging of the gravitational lens MG J0751+2716", a strikingly simple picture of one of the most intriguing effects of gravity (3rd) Charlotte Sobey, "PSR B0823+26: Emission modes in single pulses", a stark visualization of very new LOFAR data with a nod to 70s punk. Congratulations to all three! All entries that are not embargoed and weren't recently submitted will be run as a ASTRON/JIVE daily image -- enjoy! High-resolution posters are also available for download, for all ASTRON outreach, PR, presentation and other uses. Ask pr@astron.nl or Joeri.
