A search for radio emission from double-neutron star merger GW190425 using Apertif

Olivér Boersma, Joeri van Leeuwen, Elizabeth A. K. Adams +26

Detection of the electromagnetic emission from coalescing binary neutron stars (BNS) is important for understanding the merger and afterglow. We present a search for a radio counte…

Apertif view of the OH Megamaser IRAS 10597+5926: OH 18 cm satellite lines in wide-area HI surveys

Kelley M. Hess, H. Roberts, H. Dénes +26

We present the serendipitous detection of the two main OH maser lines at 1667 and 1665 MHz associated with IRAS 10597+5926 at z = 0.19612 in the untargeted Apertif Wide-area Extrag…

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…

Extreme intra-hour variability of the radio source J1402+5347 discovered with Apertif

T. A. Oosterloo, H. K. Vedantham, A. M. Kutkin +27

The propagation of radio waves from distant compact radio sources through turbulent interstellar plasma in our Galaxy causes these sources to twinkle, a phenomenon called interstel…

The MeerKAT Telescope as a Pulsar Facility: System verification and early science results from MeerTime

M. Bailes, A. Jameson, F. Abbate +72

We describe system verification tests and early science results from the pulsar processor (PTUSE) developed for the newly-commissioned 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope in Sout…

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…
