These flares are produced when a star is shredded by the extreme tidal forces of a super-massive black hole. * I'm also interested in radio emission from Tidal Dis… text/html 2012-05-11T15:16:45+02:00 Paul Groot http://www.astro.ru.nl/wiki/nl/general/people/paul_groot?rev=1336742205&do=diff Paul Groot [Paul Groot] Functie Hoogleraar Sterrenkunde, Hoofd Afdeling Sterrenkunde Professor of Astronomy Department Chair Directeur, Onderwijsinstituut WiNSt (Wiskunde, Natuur- en Sterrenkunde) Director, Educational Institute for Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy text/html 2012-05-11T15:13:19+02:00 Paul Groot http://www.astro.ru.nl/wiki/research/awards?rev=1336741999&do=diff Members of the Department of Astrophysics have received a number of awards, grants and honours: Year Department Member Honour or award 2002 Paul Groot NWO-VIDI grant 2002 Paul Groot EU-Descartes Prize (Gamma-Ray Bursts) 2003 Conny Aerts 26th Prix Paul& Marie Stroobants, Academie Royale Belgique 2004 Gijs Nelemans NWO-VENI grant 2005 Heino Falcke Academy Prize from the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wisse… text/html 2012-05-11T12:57:26+02:00 Gijs Nelemans http://www.astro.ru.nl/wiki/nl/news?rev=1336733846&do=diff Nieuws Welkom bij de Afdeling Sterrenkunde van de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen in het Huygensgebouw!
