A large light-mass component of cosmic rays at 10^{17} - 10^{17.5} eV from radio observations
S. Buitink, A. Corstanje, H. Falcke +101
Cosmic rays are the highest energy particles found in nature. Measurements of the mass composition of cosmic rays between 10^{17} eV and 10^{18} eV are essential to understand whet…
LOFAR MSSS: Detection of a low-frequency radio transient in 400 hrs of monitoring of the North Celestial Pole
A. J. Stewart, R. P. Fender, J. W. Broderick +99
We present the results of a four-month campaign searching for low-frequency radio transients near the North Celestial Pole with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), as part of the Mult…
Wide-Band, Low-Frequency Pulse Profiles of 100 Radio Pulsars with LOFAR
M. Pilia, J. W. T. Hessels, B. W. Stappers +84
LOFAR offers the unique capability of observing pulsars across the 10-240 MHz frequency range with a fractional bandwidth of roughly 50%. This spectral range is well-suited for stu…
Probing Atmospheric Electric Fields in Thunderstorms through Radio Emission from Cosmic-Ray-Induced Air Showers
P. Schellart, T. N. G. Trinh, S. Buitink +71
We present measurements of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers that took place during thunderstorms. The intensity and polarization patterns of these air showers are radical…
The shape of the radio wavefront of extensive air showers as measured with LOFAR
A. Corstanje, P. Schellart, A. Nelles +78
Extensive air showers, induced by high energy cosmic rays impinging on the Earth's atmosphere, produce radio emission that is measured with the LOFAR radio telescope. As the emissi…
LOFAR: Detecting Cosmic Rays with a Radio Telescope
A. Corstanje, M. van den Akker, L. Bähren +13
LOFAR (the Low Frequency Array), a distributed digital radio telescope with stations in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, is designed to enable full…
