What better to push into production at the end of a work day

When the code you overhauled massively runs and actually works

Daily driving @zen-browser.app for a bit has been a nice switch of browser. Built-in side-by-side tab view at the whim of a quick keyboard shortcut is not something I thought I missed.

The baboon luminosity function #NAM2025

LOFAR needs stickers you say? Well say no more

All set for the opening plenary of #NAM2025

Happy to have been a coauthor on this paper led by Maria Arias and @rtimmerman.bsky.social looking at the crab nebula with the full International #LOFAR Telescope that was put on arxiv yesterday! Lots of nice sub-arcsecond detail is revealed. Go check out the paper on arxiv arxiv.org/abs/2506.19460

quickref.me quite a nice cheat sheet collection for a variety of stuff.

Yep, ionosphere

Baader-Meinhof effect at work. Submit a telescope proposal and mysteriously "all of today's arxiv" is about that topic...

In case you were wondering what uv coverage the Egyptian pyramids (well, those listed on Wikipedia at least) would achieve if they did decameter observations. @rtimmerman.bsky.social

Gefeliciteerd!

Another exciting paper that I am thrilled to have contributed to landed on arxiv earlier this week: a review of the last decade of high resolution imaging with LOFAR! Head over there now to see how far we have come in just a decade and what exciting prospects lie ahead. arxiv.org/abs/2502.06946

The paper is now published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

Using LOFAR's VLBI capabilities we spatially resolve its radio emission, revealing a closeby "source" to be one of its radio lobes. A Gemini North spectrum puts it at z=4.9, allowing us to measure the radio jet to be 66 kpc in length. The largest know jet at these redshifts thusfar.

Press release time! noirlab.edu/public/news/... It was a pleasure to be co-author on this paper about the z=4.9 quasar J1601+3102 led by my colleague over at @noirlabastro.bsky.social.

Elevators really need an "oops wrong floor" undo button

@rtimmerman.bsky.social digging into the topic of mysterious filaments in AGNs #SALFX

Kicking off #SALFX this morning learning about low frequency EoR studies and ram pressure stripping seen by LOFAR.

The Shanghai metro is quite amazing. Probably the most efficient public transport network I have experienced so far.

5 AM train to London this morning then flying off to Shanghai for the annual dose of low frequency science at #SALF 😱
