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…
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…
Forecasts for detecting the gravitational-wave memory effect with Advanced LIGO and Virgo
Oliver M. Boersma, David A. Nichols, Patricia Schmidt
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black holes (BBHs) has allowed the theory of general relativity to be tested in a previously unstudied regime: that of strong…
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…
