BESCHERMINGSZONES


Met onze radiotelescopen nemen wij de meest zwakke signalen uit het heelal waar.
Daardoor zijn zij kwetsbaar voor elektromagnetische storing. Met het tijdig
treffen van de juiste maatregelen kan storing worden voorkomen.

WIRELESS DATA LAB


Draadloze techniek lijkt vanzelfsprekend, maar de ontwikkeling ervan gaat niet
vanzelf. Daarom hebben we bij ASTRON een proeftuin ingericht; het Wireless Data
Lab.

LOFAR1 OPERATIONS STOPPED, TELESCOPE GEARING UP FOR 2.0 UPGRADE



August 31st was the last day on which we received data from LOFAR1. With the
shutdown of LOFAR1 operations, over a decade of gathering and handling huge
amounts of data came to an end. LOFAR1 operations have led to the publication of
more than 750 scientific papers so far, and this number is still growing by
about two papers per week. The end of LOFAR1 production operations does of
course not mean the end of LOFAR (which became LOFAR ERIC last year): right now
we are working hard on upgrading the LOFAR telescope to version 2.0, both in
software and hardware.

🌌 Radio signals from stars reveal magnetic storms & "space weather" on
exoplanets! 🌠 These signals help us study solar bursts, auroras, and magnetic
star-planet interactions.

Even when our #LOFAR telescope is busy getting an upgrade, it is still reaching
new milestones. According to the NASA/SAO Astrophysics Data System, the overview
paper ‘LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray’ has reached over 2,000 citations!
