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 telescope (wsrt) using phased-array feed technology. the new receivers create 40 individual beams on the sky, achieving an instantaneous sky ...

the european space agency's international gamma-ray astrophysics laboratory (esa/integral) was launched aboard a proton-dm2 rocket on 17 october 2002 at 06:41 cest, from baikonur in kazakhstan. since then, integral has been providing long, uninterrupted observations (up to about 47 h, or 170 ksec, per satellite orbit o...

the pure rotational spectrum of the elusive cn+ cation has been observed for the first time using a cryogenic ion trap apparatus and applying an action spectroscopy scheme. for the 12c14n+ species, the three lowest rotational transitions have been observed, each of which exhibits hyperfine structure from the presence o...

we have studied low-frequency (45 - 410 mhz) type iii solar radio bursts observed using the e-compound astronomical low-cost low-frequency instrument for spectroscopy and transportable observatory (e-callisto) spectrometer located at gauribidanur radio observatory, india, during 2013 - 2017. after inspecting 1531 type ...
a statistical study of low-frequency solar radio type iii bursts
results of the application of pattern-recognition techniques to the problem of identifying giant radio sources (grss) from the data in the nvss catalog are presented, and issues affecting the process are explored. decision-tree pattern-recognition software was applied to training-set source pairs developed from known n...
a selection of giant radio sources from nvss
in this study, we analyze giant galactic spurs seen in both radio and x-ray all-sky maps to reveal their origins. we discuss two types of giant spurs: one is the brightest diffuse emission near the map's center, which is likely to be related to fermi bubbles (npss/spss, north/south polar spurs, respectively), and the o...
origin of galactic spurs: new insight from radio/x-ray all-sky maps
the construction of the seven-dish karoo array telescope (kat-7) array in the karoo region of the northern cape in south africa was intended primarily as an engineering prototype for technologies and techniques applicable to the meerkat telescope. this paper looks at the main engineering and scientific highlights from ...

the follow-up timing observations were carried out for 24 pulsars discovered with the five-hundred-meter aperture spherical radio telescope (fast) in commensal radio astronomy fast survey. we report their phase-connected timing ephemeris, polarization pulse profiles, and faraday rotation measurements. with their spin p...
