LOFAR discovery and wide-band characterisation of an ultra-steep spectrum AGN radio remnant associated with Abell 1318
A. Shulevski, M. Brienza, F. Massaro +15
We present the discovery of a very extended (550 kpc) and low-surface-brightness ( at 144 MHz) radio emission region in Abell 1318. These propert…
Apertif 1.4 GHz continuum observations of the Boötes field and their combined view with LOFAR
A. M. Kutkin, T. A. Oosterloo, R. Morganti +17
We present a new image of a 26.5 square degree region in the Boötes constellation obtained at 1.4 GHz using the Aperture Tile in Focus (Apertif) system on the Westerbork Synthesis…
An interference detection strategy for Apertif based on AOFlagger 3
A. R. Offringa, B. Adebahr, A. Kutkin +15
Context. Apertif is a multi-beam receiver system for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope that operates at 1.1-1.5 GHz, which overlaps with various radio services, resulting in…
Continuum source catalog for the first APERTIF data release
A. M. Kutkin, T. A. Oosterloo, R. Morganti +25
The first data release of Apertif survey contains 3074 radio continuum images covering a thousand square degrees of the sky. The observations were performed during August 2019 to J…
First release of Apertif imaging survey data
Elizabeth A. K. Adams, B. Adebahr, W. J. G. de Blok +56
(Abridged) Apertif is a phased-array feed system for WSRT, providing forty instantaneous beams over 300 MHz of bandwidth. A dedicated survey program started on 1 July 2019, with th…
Seeing the forest and the trees: a radio investigation of the ULIRG Mrk 273
Pranav Kukreti, Raffaella Morganti, Marco Bondi +19
Galaxy mergers have been observed to trigger nuclear activity by feeding gas to the central supermassive black hole. One such class of objects are Ultra Luminous InfraRed Galaxies…
The Apertif Radio Transient System (ARTS): Design, Commissioning, Data Release, and Detection of the first 5 Fast Radio Bursts
Joeri van Leeuwen, Eric Kooistra, Leon Oostrum +49
Fast Radio Bursts must be powered by uniquely energetic emission mechanisms. This requirement has eliminated a number of possible source types, but several remain. Identifying the…
Characterising the Apertif primary beam response
H. Dénes, K. M. Hess, E. A. K. Adams +27
Context. Phased Array Feeds (PAFs) are multi element receivers in the focal plane of a telescope that make it possible to form simultaneously multiple beams on the sky by combining…
The Apertif science verification campaign - Characteristics of polarised radio sources
B. Adebahr, A. Berger, E. A. K. Adams +24
We analyse five early science datasets from the APERture Tile in Focus (Apertif) phased array feed system to verify the polarisation capabilities of Apertif in view of future large…
A fast radio burst with sub-millisecond quasi-periodic structure
Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Joeri van Leeuwen, Anna Bilous +31
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extragalactic radio transients of extraordinary luminosity. Studying the diverse temporal and spectral behaviour recently observed in a number of FRBs…
Apercal -- The Apertif Calibration Pipeline
B. Adebahr, R. Schulz, T. J. Dijkema +33
Apertif (APERture Tile In Focus) is one of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) pathfinder facilities. The Apertif project is an upgrade to the 50-year-old Westerbork Synthesis Radio T…
Combining LOFAR and Apertif Data for Understanding the Life Cycle of Radio Galaxies
Raffaella Morganti, Nika Jurlin, Tom Oosterloo +10
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the centres of galaxies can cycle between periods of activity and of quiescence. Characterising the duty-cycle of AGN is crucial for understanding t…
Apertif, Phased Array Feeds for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope
W. A. van Cappellen, T. A. Oosterloo, M. A. W. Verheijen +87
We describe the APERture Tile In Focus (Apertif) system, a phased array feed (PAF) upgrade of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope which has transformed this telescope into a h…
Dual-frequency single-pulse study of PSR B0950+08
A. V. Bilous, J. M. Griessmeier, T. Pennucci +33
PSR B0950+08 is a bright non-recycled pulsar whose single-pulse fluence variability is reportedly large. Based on observations at two widely separated frequencies, 55 MHz (NenuFAR)…
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
