Investigating double bump air showers with the SKA-Low
V. De Henau, S. Bouma, J. Bray +30
Double-bump showers are a rare class of extensive air showers (EAS) predicted by Monte Carlo simulations. They occur when a high-energy secondary particle, the leading particle, tr…
Exploring compact binary merger host galaxies and environments with
S. Mandhai, G. P. Lamb, N. R. Tanvir +5
Compact binaries such as double neutron stars or a neutron star paired with a black-hole, are strong sources of gravitational waves during coalescence and also the likely progenito…
Origins of Cosmic Rays in the Galactic-extragalactic Transition Energy Range
A. Corstanje, S. Saha, S. Bouma +28
Cosmic rays arrive at Earth with energies ranging from to over eV. One of the open questions in high-energy cosmic ray science concerns the origin of the highest-e…
The LOFAR Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS) I. Survey description and first results
G. H. Heald, R. F. Pizzo, E. Orrú +147
We present the Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS), the first northern-sky LOFAR imaging survey. In this introductory paper, we first describe in detail the motivation and de…
