Description: | With Apertif, ASTRON pioneers the use of dense Phased Array Feeds in radio-astronomy. The users, developers and operators of Apertif have documented the Apertif system in an extensive overview paper. We are proud that that paper has recently been published in the Astronomy and Astrophysics journal. The paper includes a description of the science drivers, a system overview, design descriptions of all major components, and system characterisation results. It also provides references to publications that describe Apertif in even more detail.
