PH</tt><tt>D PROJECT AT UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM<br>
<br>
The Apertif Radio -- Gravitational wave Observatory (ARGO)<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>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, </tt><tt><tt>Hessels, </tt>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.</tt><tt><br>
