Congratulations Jeremy Rigney on winning the Rosse Medal Institute of Physics Ireland Meeting for his presentation on “Shocking in the Solar Corona”. Fitting, as Jeremy grew up and went to school in Co. Offaly and uses I-LOFAR Birr Castle Demesne as part of his PhD DIAS Dunsink Observatory & (old handle) Armagh Observatory & Planetarium

May is Dark and Quiet Skies month. With the increase in satellites around Earth, light pollution in the radio spectrum becomes a more prominent issue. This can have a major impact on the observations of radio telescopes. astron.nl/radio-waves-le… #DarkAndQuietSkies #DarkSkies4All

Using a new calibration technique, LOFAR can produce even sharper radio galaxy images than before.

Come along to Pint of Science IE Birr tonight in The Chestnut! All welcome, completely free, starts at 7pm, tickets at pintofscience.ie/event/birr-mix…

Tonight! Dark Skies of Offaly with Georgia MacMillan of Mayo Dark Skies and Dr Peter T Gallagher of I-LOFAR at Birr Castle Demesne 7:30pm. Free event but booking essential. @scienceirel eventbrite.ie/e/dark-skies-o… #NBW24 #NationalBiodiversityWeek

Congratulations Prof. Michael A. Garrett, FRS.!

Wonderful to be Low Frequency Array ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) launch in the Netherlands today. Exciting times ahead with the array getting upgraded electronics & computing. The Dutch “summer”weather was familiar to the Irish delegation … the cake helped.

🎥 We're happy to share the first images from one complete SKA-Low station! The video shows a 24-hour observation, and demonstrates the high sensitivity of a single station. Imagine what we'll see when all 512 SKA-Low stations are looking at the sky in the future! #SKAscience

🌌 #SpaceX's 2nd gen Starlink satellites are leaking up to 32 times more unintended radio waves than the 1st gen, potentially blinding telescopes like Low Frequency Array and jeopardizing our understanding of the Universe! #Starlink #RadioInterference astron.nl/starlink-satel…

LOFAR making BIG discoveries!

A huge discovery, made possible by our #LOFAR radio telescope!

Come join us at ASTRON as a Bell Burnell Fellow! We are searching for the next leaders in radio astronomy, whether that is scientific or technical (or both!). Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. aas.org/jobregister/ad…

LOFAR1 operations ceased as we enter the LOFAR2.0 upgrade phase! Read about what LOFAR1 achieved during its 12-year run and what exciting advancements await in radio astronomy! 🌌 astron.nl/lofar1-operati…

Great to see this work published, which includes Jeremy Rigney DIAS Dunsink Observatory
