Detecting cosmic rays with the LOFAR radio telescope
P. Schellart, A. Nelles, S. Buitink +102
The low frequency array (LOFAR), is the first radio telescope designed with the capability to measure radio emission from cosmic-ray induced air showers in parallel with interferom…
The Software Package for Astronomical Reductions with KMOS: SPARK
Richard Davies, Alex Agudo Berbel, Erich Wiezorrek +9
KMOS is a multi-object near-infrared integral field spectrometer with 24 deployable cryogenic pick-off arms. Inevitably, data processing is a complex task that requires careful cal…
Flux calibration of the Herschel-SPIRE photometer
G. J. Bendo, M. J. Griffin, J. J. Bock +16
We describe the procedure used to flux calibrate the three-band submillimetre photometer in the Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) instrument on the Herschel Space O…
LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray
M. P. van Haarlem, M. W. Wise, A. W. Gunst +197
LOFAR, the LOw-Frequency ARray, is a new-generation radio interferometer constructed in the north of the Netherlands and across europe. Utilizing a novel phased-array design, LOFAR…
On-sky characterisation of the VISTA NB118 narrow-band filters at 1.19 micron
B. Milvang-Jensen, W. Freudling, J. Zabl +9
Observations of the high redshift Universe through narrow-band filters have proven very successful in the last decade. The 4-meter VISTA telescope, equipped with the wide-field cam…
Calibrating High-Precision Faraday Rotation Measurements for LOFAR and the Next Generation of Low-Frequency Radio Telescopes
C. Sotomayor-Beltran, C. Sobey, J. W. T. Hessels +77
Faraday rotation measurements using the current and next generation of low-frequency radio telescopes will provide a powerful probe of astronomical magnetic fields. However, achiev…
