PHD PROJECT AT UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM

The Apertif Radio -- Gravitational wave Observatory (ARGO)

We can now fathom our Universe through the swell of its very fabric of  
space-time: gravitational waves. Mergers of neutron stars whip up these 
waves, but also produce relativistic mass ejections and radio emission. 
Our overall goal is to understand the physics governing the interior and 
magnetosphere of these stars, and their spiral-in.

In this PhD project we aim to discover and interpret the accompanying 
electromagnetic emission. We will use the novel, wide-field Apertif 
detectors we have recently commissioned to discover and study afterglow 
and prompt FRB-like radio emission from gravitational-wave events. 
Through precise localizations, essential for our radio, optical and 
high-energy follow-up, we aim to shed light on the astrophysics driving 
these exotic events.

You will join a lively radio-transient teams, consisting of post-docs 
Emily Petroff, Yogesh Maan, Liam Connor, and Dany Vohl; PhD students 
Leon Oostrum, David Gardenier, and Inés Pastor Marazuela; faculty member 
Joeri van Leeuwen; and a large number of engineers and programmers. 
Expect much interaction within API (Rowlinson, Wijers, Hessels, Watts, 
Wijnands), within ASTRON, The Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy 
(Szary, Janssen, Bassa), within NOVA NW3, the national program for 
transient research (Nissanke, Nelemans, Groot, Jonker), but also with 
our many international partners.
