Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy

Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy The Anton Pannekoek Institute participates in the National Research School for Astronomy (NOVA) of Dutch astronomy.

The Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy of the University of Amsterdam is a world leading institute in high-energy astrophysics with top-rated internationally-oriented research groups in accreting black holes and neutron stars and in gamma-ray burst research. In addition there are research groups excelling in ground-based observational techniques and the study of stars and stellar evolution, a

s well as planet formation. Our institute is also the seat of the Transients Key Project of the international Low-Frequency Radio Array which is currently being constructed in the Netherlands. Our institute has expertise with, and access to, international observational facilities across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The institute has three full professors, approximately a dozen each of permanent research staff and postdocs, and about two dozen graduate students. Approximately half of our postdoc/student population is foreign, and thus English is the main language of our institute. Beyond the weekly colloquium and more informal pizza lunch seminar, there are several student-formed study groups, and many other social activities and interactions among the young people in our institute. The institute is 20 minutes from downtown Amsterdam on the UvA science campus, close to the informatics/computing technology center of the Netherlands.

Morgen is het weer zover, we staan op javaplein met een speciale zonnetelescoop en we delen gratis eclipsbrillen uit. Van 12 tot 14u. Zien we je daar? 😎

You must have heard about the 12 August solar eclipse by now, but did you know there's also a on 28 August? Here in the Netherlands it starts at 3:23 AM (ouch) but it'll be a while until we get another one. Will you be setting your alarm?

Morgen delen we gratis eclipsbrillen uit in Amsterdam 😎

02/07/2026

Amsterdammers opgelet! Wij zijn aankomende zondag 5 juli met zonnetelescopen aanwezig op Amsteldorp Ontdekt bij Speelpark Blijdag in de Fizeaustraat. Het is dan namelijk Landelijke Zonnekijkdag dus een mooie gelegenheid om onze eigen ster veilig waar te nemen! We nemen ook eclipsbrillen mee zodat je alvast klaar bent om veilig de van 12 augustus te bekijken. Tijdens deze zonsverduistering zal hier in Nederland de zon voor bijna 90% bedekt zijn. Dat is genoeg om op te merken en goed te zien met een eclipsbril maar de zon zal nog veel te fel zijn om zonder bescherming te bekijken. Extra belangrijk dus om op tijd een eclipsbrilletje te regelen!

🎥 A cosmic signal, an Earth-sized telescope, and three astronomers interviewing each other.

🎤 What is a fast radio burst? Why do repeating FRBs matter? And how can we trace them back to their origin?

⚡ Earlier this year, you may have seen the headline: astronomers pinpointed a repeating fast radio burst — only the fourth directly linked to a persistent radio source.

In this video, three of the authors from from the Anton Pannekoek Institute (University of Amsterdam), ASTRON, and the Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIVE) take turns asking each other questions about the result and how the European VLBI Network (EVN) made it possible.

They also explain what this result tells us about the universe.

The study involves researchers from leading institutes around the world and is ongoing.
