On the train back north now. What a week! Awesome work with the #lofar long baseline group and exploring all the wonders of Paris. 10/10 would recommend.

Ach ja, wetenschap is ook maar een mening. 3x raden wat #elonmusk daarmee doet? #lofar #spacex https://www.rtvdrenthe.nl/nieuws/15700409/astronomen-maken-zich-grote-zorgen-lofartelescoop-ontdekt-ruis-van-spacex-satellieten

Für die Interessenten der #HAMgroupPropagation gibt's hier was zum Einstimmen auf den kommenden Vortrag zu #LOFAR https://www.spektrum.de/video/lofar-radioteleskop-der-neuesten-generation/2142525

today starts #lofar family meeting #LFM23 this time organised by our university in Olsztyn, Poland.
Looking forward to the week of intense #science

Nice 35-minutes talk - in German - about the Europe-wide #LOFAR radio interferometer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ccs5SWqr4

Heeft ook wel wat…zometeen een paar uur in de regen lopen en kijken en luisteren naar een gids die alles weet over radioantennes… #Lofar
Maar eh not me ik moet andere dingen doen.

The #Faraday Rotation Measure Grid of the #LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey - Data Release 2: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.07697 -> Irish astronomer brings science closer to finding origins of #magnetism: https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irish-astronomer-brings-science-closer-to-finding-origins-of-magnetism-42341049.html (and in https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/academic/physics/15thevn/2022/Shane_OSullivan.pdf and https://lofar-mksp.org/ more about the LOFAR Magnetism Key Science Project or MKSP).

Our former postdoc, Prof. Shane O'Sullivan, and our work with #LOFAR featured in the Irish Independent

With a cool picture. #magnetism

Kolmogorov seems to work well in the interstellar medium, according to our study on pulsar scintillation led by Z. Wu. Using #LOFAR

Series of #LOFAR papers today on the arxiv. The first Is about the statistics of radio relics. Shows impressively how far we have come in the past years. The Planck clusters in the LOFAR sky VI. LoTSS-DR2: Properties of radio relics

led by our student A. Jones and of course with a bunch of collaborators.

Today on the arxiv: The Faraday Rotation Measure Grid of the #LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: Data Release 2 led by S. O'Sullivan.
We find 2461 extragalactic high-precision RM values across 5720 deg^2 of sky (corresponding to a polarized source areal number density of ∼0.43 deg^−2)

A very interesting take on the universe as seen from the perspective of the 2m amateur radio band by the #LOFAR radio telescope.

#astronomy #RedDwarfs #LOFAR #exoplanets #stars Two articles - one published in the journal "Nature Astronomy" and one published in "The Astrophysical Journal Letters" - report different aspects of the discovery of radio wave emissions from 19 red dwarfs of which at least 4 could have originated from interaction with unknown planets.

#astronomy #BlackHoles A series of ten articles to be published in the journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics" reports the results of the activity of the #LoFar network with its 70,000 antennas with unprecedented details of various #galaxies at radio frequencies.

This is pretty frickin' cool. I've been passively interested in the capabilities of arrays of antennas, and I hadn't heard of this project before.
