The Apertif Radio Transient System (ARTS), the new, high-speed, wide-field radio camera for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope, has for the first time detected a bright Fast Radio Burst on 31 August 2017.

Astronomers have discovered two rapidly rotating radio pulsars with LOFAR in the Netherlands by investigating unknown gamma-ray sources uncovered by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

The timescales over which galaxies form and evolve are outside the reach of human life. Thus, astronomers need to use indirect methods to derive the history of galaxies.

New antenna station further increases sensitivity of the world’s largest radio telescope.

SKA Organisation and CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, today signed an agreement formalising their growing collaboration in the area of extreme-scale computing.

What are the major achievements and results of low frequency radio telescopes far? And what will be their science impact?

Over 300 engineers and scientists from 17 countries participate in the 2017 SKA Engineering Meeting, which takes place from 12 – 16 June in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

From novel algorithms that are an order of magnitude more efficient than state of the art to extremely dense and power-efficient water cooled microservers: Dome shows paths towards exa-scale in radio astronomy.

The Board of NWO has appointed Professor Carole Jackson as General and Scientific Director of ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy.

An important milestone for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope: the first images have been made using a revolutionary new type of receiver, called Apertif.

Today, dr. Elizabeth Adams has been awarded a position in the NWO programme Women In Science Excel (WISE).

Astronomers have for the first time pinpointed the location of a so-called ‘fast radio burst’ and have used this to identify its host galaxy.
