The European VLBI Network (EVN) is asking for feedback from the users and the VLBI community through an anonymous survey. This survey aims to engage the EVN community before the 16th European VLBI Network Symposium and Users' Meeting on 2–6 September 2024. Results and conclusions from this survey will be presented at the Symposium. input is highly valuable to [...]
An international team of astronomers suspects based on their findings that non-repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) probably originate from galaxies similar to our Milky Way. The team compared the polarised light from 128 of these non-repeating FRBs with repeating ones. The researchers published their results in The Astrophysical Journal with the title Polarization Properties of [...]
The National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT), in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR), has achieved the historic first detection of astronomical radio signals using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) with the 40-m Thai National Radio Telescope (TNRT). The experiment, performed together with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope in Germany, [...]

The European Council has adopted a Council recommendation on enhancing research security. The main objective of the recommendation is to support the Commission and member states to address research security risks deriving from international cooperation.
Professor Michael Garrett, Director of Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society - the UK’s national academy of sciences. Professor Garrett holds the prestigious Sir Bernard Lovell Chair of Astrophysics and is a leading figure in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). He currently serves as the [...]

The second session of the ORP Science Talks will take place on June 5 at 11am CEST, featuring Gyula Józsa and Lukasz Wyrzykowski. In the ORP Science Talks astronomers not only from ORP can present their work and scientific results. View recordings of the previous session here. Join the session of 5 June here.
An international team of researchers has developed a new calibration technique to circumvent disturbances of Earth’s ionosphere. Using this technique with the LOFAR telescope, the researchers have already made some new discoveries about the distribution of radio emissions. The new calibration technique allowed the researchers to produce the first sharp radio maps of the universe [...]
