The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey - I. Survey Description and Preliminary Data Release
T. W. Shimwell, H. J. A. Röttgering, P. N. Best +69
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is a deep 120-168 MHz imaging survey that will eventually cover the entire Northern sky. Each of the 3170 pointings will be observed for 8 hr…
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…
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…
A parallel gravitational N-body kernel
Simon Portegies Zwart, Steve McMillan, Derek Groen +3
We describe source code level parallelization for the {\tt kira} direct gravitational -body integrator, the workhorse of the {\tt starlab} production environment for simulating…
Star cluster disruption by giant molecular clouds
M. Gieles, S. F. Portegies Zwart, H. Baumgardt +4
We investigate encounters between giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and star clusters. We propose a single expression for the energy gain of a cluster due to an encounter with a GMC, v…
Three-body encounters in the Galactic centre: the origin of the hypervelocity star SDSS J090745.0+024507
Alessia Gualandris, Simon Portegies Zwart, Michael Sipior
Hills (1988) predicted that runaway stars could be accelerated to velocities larger than 1000 km/s by dynamical encounters with the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic c…
