First LOFAR observations at very low frequencies of cluster-scale non-thermal emission: the case of Abell 2256
R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Rottgering, D. A. Rafferty +79
Abell 2256 is one of the best known examples of a galaxy cluster hosting large-scale diffuse radio emission that is unrelated to individual galaxies. It contains both a giant radio…
LBCS: the LOFAR Long-Baseline Calibrator Survey
N. Jackson, A. Tagore, A. Deller +76
(abridged). We outline LBCS (the LOFAR Long-Baseline Calibrator Survey), whose aim is to identify sources suitable for calibrating the highest-resolution observations made with the…
Observing pulsars and fast transients with LOFAR
B. W. Stappers, J. W. T. Hessels, A. Alexov +91
Low frequency radio waves, while challenging to observe, are a rich source of information about pulsars. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is a new radio interferometer operating in…
SKA Aperture Array Mid Frequency Science Requirements
S. A. Torchinsky, J. W. Broderick, A. Gunst +2
This document describes the top level requirements for the SKA-AAMID telescope as determined by the SKA key science projects. These include parameters such as operating frequency r…
Optimized Trigger for Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic-Ray and Neutrino Observations with the Low Frequency Radio Array
K. Singh, M. Mevius, O. Scholten +100
When an ultra-high energy neutrino or cosmic ray strikes the Lunar surface a radio-frequency pulse is emitted. We plan to use the LOFAR radio telescope to detect these pulses. In t…
