Apertif

Apertif is a new phased-array feed system for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT), greatly increasing its field of view and survey speed. As a result, three legacy surveys are planned Apertif: two imaging surveys and a pulsars/transients survey. I oversaw the scientific commissioning of the imaging mode of Apertif, and now lead the science operations. The first data release from Apertif was in Nov 2020. More information can be found in the data release documentation.
