Chromatic periodic activity down to 120 MHz in a Fast Radio Burst
Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Liam Connor, Joeri van Leeuwen +34
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extragalactic astrophysical transients whose brightness requires emitters that are highly energetic, yet compact enough to produce the short, milliseco…
ESiWACE2 Services: RSE collaborations in Weather and Climate
Gijs van den Oord, Victor Azizi, Alessio Sclocco +5
We present the collaborative model of ESiWACE2 Services, where Research Software Engineers (RSEs) from the Netherlands eScience Center (NLeSC) and Atos offer their expertise to cli…
Lessons learned in a decade of research software engineering GPU applications
Ben van Werkhoven, Willem Jan Palenstijn, Alessio Sclocco
After years of using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to accelerate scientific applications in fields as varied as tomography, computer vision, climate modeling, digital forensics,…
A bright, high rotation-measure FRB that skewers the M33 halo
Liam Connor, Joeri van Leeuwen, L. C. Oostrum +37
We report the detection of a bright fast radio burst, FRB\,191108, with Apertif on the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). The interferometer allows us to localise the FRB…
Repeating fast radio bursts with WSRT/Apertif
L. C. Oostrum, Y. Maan, J. van Leeuwen +40
Repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) present excellent opportunities to identify FRB progenitors and host environments, as well as decipher the underlying emission mechanism. Detaile…
Real-Time RFI Mitigation for the Apertif Radio Transient System
Alessio Sclocco, Dany Vohl, Rob V. van Nieuwpoort
Current and upcoming radio telescopes are being designed with increasing sensitivity to detect new and mysterious radio sources of astrophysical origin. While this increased sensit…
