ALERT - The Apertif-LOFAR Exploration of the Radio Transient Sky (ALERT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2019,

"In our largely unchanging radio Universe, a highly dynamic component was recently discovered: flashes of bright radio emission that last only milliseconds but appear all over the sky. Some of these radio bursts can be traced to intermittently pulsating neutron stars. Other bursts however, apparently originate far outside our Galaxy. Due to great observational challenges, the evolution of the neut ...

Unravelling the Cosmic Reionization History (LOFARCORE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

"One of the frontier cosmological research themes of the past decade has been the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). This era marked the start of the formation of visible baryonic structures: stars, (dwarf-)galaxies, clusters and the cosmic web. Some top level questions surrounding COsmic REionization are: ""When did it start ?”, “How long did it take ?”, “What were the main ionizing sources ?”, and “Wh ...

"DRAGNET: A high-speed, wide-angle camera for catching extreme astrophysical events" (DRAGNET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

"Looking up on a starry night, it’s easy to imagine that the Universe is unchanging. In reality, however, the Universe is teeming with activity: there are massive explosions from accreting black holes, bright radio flashes from ultra-magnetic pulsars, and likely other spectacles that have so far escaped our prying eyes. These fleeting events can happen faster than the blink of an eye and, importan ...

Exploiting new radio telescopes to understand the role of AGN in galaxy evolution (RadioLife)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

An intricate interplay between various, and sometimes, competing processes, rules the formation of galaxies. Accretion of gas leads to the formation of new stars and the growth of the central massive black hole. In return, the energy released by these processes can drive strong outflows of gas, profoundly affecting the gaseous medium in and around a galaxy. This mechanism of energy feedback is now ...

DEEP Extended Reach (DEEP-ER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

The proposed project DEEP-ER (DEEP-Extended Reach) addresses two significant Exascale challenges: the growing gap between I/O bandwidth and compute speed, and the need to significantly improve system resiliency. DEEP-ER will extend the Cluster-Booster architecture of the Dynamical Exascale Entry Platform (DEEP) project by a highly scalable I/O system and will implement an efficient mechanism to re ...

Optical Infrared Co-ordination Network for Astronomy (OPTICON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Optical-infrared astronomy in Europe is in a state of transition and opportunity, with the goal of a viable structured European scale community in sight. A strong astronomical community requires access to state of the art infrastructures (telescopes), equipped with the best possible instrumentation, and with that access being open to all on a basis of competitive excellence. Further, the community ...

A cost effective and efficient approach for a new generation of solar dish-Stirling plants based on storage and hybridization (BIOSTIRLING-4SKA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

In the context of the Energy SET-Plan of the European Commission relevant research and developments channelled to increase the percentage of renewable energy sources. It is crucial the collaboration of the Industry, SME’s and research institutions to bring together the step forward to finally integrate renewable energies as the main source of electricity.Renewable energies represent a wide field u ...

Amsterdam-ASTRON Radio Transient Facility And Analysis Centre: Probing the Extremes of Astrophysics (AARTFAAC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Some of the most extreme tests of physical law come from its manifestations in the behaviour of black holes and neutron stars, and as such these objects should be used as fundamental physics labs. Due to advances in both theoretical work and observational techniques, I have a major opportunity now to significantly push this agenda forward and get better answers to questions like: How are black ho ...

Large European Array for Pulsars (LEAP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"In general relativity and other relativistic theories of gravity, space and time are combined to form ``space-time'' which is curved in the presence of mass. As masses move, for instance like the two components in a binary system, ripples in space-time are created that propagate through the Universe, very much like waves caused by a stone falling into a pond. These ``gravitational waves'' (GWs) a ...

A Preparatory phase proposal for the Square Kilometre Array (PrepSKA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the largest scientific projects ever undertaken. It is a machine designed to answer some of the big questions of our time: what is Dark Energy? Was Einstein right about gravity? What is the nature of dark matter? Can we detect gravitational waves? When and how did the first stars and galaxies form? What was the origin of cosmic magnetism? How do Eart ...
