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…
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…
