LoTSS-DR3, by Shimwell+ (w/ many) We have released the largest collection of data from a radio survey: 13M+ sources detected over 19k deg^2 (88% of the Northern sky). This took ~13k h of @LOFAR observations, ~18 PT of data, and 10+ years of work. Data are public from today arxiv.org/abs/2602.15949

Daily driving @zen-browser.app for a bit has been a nice switch of browser. Built-in side-by-side tab view at the whim of a quick keyboard shortcut is not something I thought I missed.

Happy to have been a coauthor on this paper led by Maria Arias and @rtimmerman.bsky.social looking at the crab nebula with the full International #LOFAR Telescope that was put on arxiv yesterday! Lots of nice sub-arcsecond detail is revealed. Go check out the paper on arxiv arxiv.org/abs/2506.19460

Baader-Meinhof effect at work. Submit a telescope proposal and mysteriously "all of today's arxiv" is about that topic...

In case you were wondering what uv coverage the Egyptian pyramids (well, those listed on Wikipedia at least) would achieve if they did decameter observations. @rtimmerman.bsky.social

Another exciting paper that I am thrilled to have contributed to landed on arxiv earlier this week: a review of the last decade of high resolution imaging with LOFAR! Head over there now to see how far we have come in just a decade and what exciting prospects lie ahead. arxiv.org/abs/2502.06946

A decade of sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope

The International LOFAR Telescope (ILT) is a pan-European radio interferometer with baselines up to 2,000 km. This provides sub-arcsecond resolution at frequencies of <200 MHz. Since starting science ...

The Shanghai metro is quite amazing. Probably the most efficient public transport network I have experienced so far.

5 AM train to London this morning then flying off to Shanghai for the annual dose of low frequency science at #SALF 😱
