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…
Calibrating the absolute amplitude scale for air showers measured at LOFAR
A. Nelles, J. R. Hörandel, T. Karskens +74
Air showers induced by cosmic rays create nanosecond pulses detectable at radio frequencies. These pulses have been measured successfully in the past few years at the LOw Frequency…
The LOFAR long baseline snapshot calibrator survey
J. Moldón, A. T. Deller, O. Wucknitz +82
Aims. An efficient means of locating calibrator sources for International LOFAR is developed and used to determine the average density of usable calibrator sources on the sky for s…
Lunar occultation of the diffuse radio sky: LOFAR measurements between 35 and 80 MHz
H. K. Vedantham, L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn +91
We present radio observations of the Moon between and MHz to demonstrate a novel technique of interferometrically measuring large-scale diffuse emission extending far bey…
Lunar Imaging and Ionospheric Calibration for the Lunar Cherenkov Technique
Rebecca McFadden, Olaf Scholten, Maaijke Mevius
The Lunar Cherenkov technique is a promising method for UHE neutrino and cosmic ray detection which aims to detect nanosecond radio pulses produced during particle interactions in…
Ionospheric propagation effects for UHE neutrino detection with the lunar Cherenkov technique
Rebecca McFadden, Ron Ekers, Justin Bray
Lunar Cherenkov experiments aim to detect nanosecond pulses of Cherenkov emission produced during UHE cosmic ray or neutrino interactions in the lunar regolith. Pulses from these i…
LUNASKA simultaneous neutrino searches with multiple telescopes
J. D. Bray, R. D. Ekers, C. W. James +7
The most sensitive method for detecting neutrinos at the very highest energies is the lunar Cherenkov technique, which employs the Moon as a target volume, using conventional radio…
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…
