Strongly polarised radio pulses from a new white-dwarf-hosting long-period transient

Sanne Bloot, Harish K. Vedantham, Cees G. Bassa +6

Long-period transients (LPTs) are a new and enigmatic class of objects that produce bright pulsations in the radio, with periods far exceeding those seen in rotationally powered pu…

Searching for FRB persistent radio source counterparts in dwarf galaxies using LOFAR

D. Vohl, H . K. Vedantham, J. W. T. Hessels +1

The repeating FRB 20121102A was localized to a star-forming region in a dwarf galaxy and found to be co-located with a persistent radio source (PRS). FRB 20190520B is only the seco…

A LOFAR sample of luminous compact sources coincident with nearby dwarf galaxies

D. Vohl, H. K. Vedantham, J. W. T. Hessels +5

The vast majority of extragalactic compact continuum radio sources are associated with star formation or jets from (super)massive black holes and, as such, are more likely to be fo…

Searching for pulsars associated with polarised point sources using LOFAR: Initial discoveries from the TULIPP project

C. Sobey, C. G. Bassa, S. P. O'Sullivan +15

Discovering radio pulsars, particularly millisecond pulsars (MSPs), is important for a range of astrophysical applications, such as testing theories of gravity or probing the magne…

FRB 121102: drastic changes in the burst polarization contrasts with the stability of the persistent emission

A. V. Plavin, Z. Paragi, B. Marcote +5

We study milliarcsecond-scale properties of the persistent radio counterpart to FRB 121102 and investigate the spectro-polarimetric properties of a bright burst. For the former, we…

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…
