Johannes A. van Paradijs (9 June 1946 – 2 November 1999) was a Dutch high-energy astrophysicist.

He is best known for discovering the first optical afterglow of a gamma-ray burst, GRB 970228, in February 1997, together with two of his students, and for establishing that gamma-ray bursts are extragalactic events.

He was married to the astrophysicist Chryssa Kouveliotou.

1975

Van Paradijs determined the first mass of a neutron star, the X-ray pulsar Vela X-1 in 1975.

Van Paradijs obtained his PhD at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1975, working on cool giant stars.

His thesis was entitled "Studies of line spectra of G- and K-type stars" and his supervisor was David Koelbloed.

Afterwards he started working on X-ray binaries.

1978

In 1978 he showed that X-ray bursters are neutron stars in binary systems.

Using spectroscopic mapping, he was the first to spatially resolve an accretion disk.
