We found another weird pulsar! Introducing PSR J1710-3452!
(Accepted to MNRAS doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slad0… and available on @arxiv arxiv.org/abs/2306.10817)

After 25 years, an international group of astronomers, including from @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM, have seen the first evidence of low frequency gravitational waves that could hold answers about the formation and evolution of our Universe! 🌌

Astronomen van @EPTAGW vinden bewijs voor ultra-laagfrequente zwaartekrachtgolven. Andere samenwerkingen (@CSIRO_ATNF @ARC_OzGRav @NANOGrav en CPTA) hebben onafhankelijk van elkaar soortgelijke resultaten gerapporteerd. astronomie.nl/nieuws/pulsar-…

It consists of astronomers of over 10 institutes across Europe, and uses the 5 largest radio telescopes in Europe
Congratulations Ed!
Emeritus Professor Ed van den Heuvel of @uva_api will receive the Langerhuizen Oeuvre Prize from @khmw_haarlem. He is well-known for his research on the formation and evolution of binary stars that contain neutron stars and black holes: uva.nl/en/shared-content/sub…
