The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: VII. Third Data Release

T. W. Shimwell, M. J. Hardcastle, C. Tasse +99

We present the third data release of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR3). The survey images cover 88% of the northern sky and were created from 12,950 hrs of data (18.6 PB)…

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…

Imaging Jupiter's radiation belts down to 127 MHz with LOFAR

J. N. Girard, P. Zarka, C. Tasse +71

Context. Observing Jupiter's synchrotron emission from the Earth remains today the sole method to scrutinize the distribution and dynamical behavior of the ultra energetic electron…

Wide-field LOFAR imaging of the field around the double-double radio galaxy B1834+620: A fresh view on a restarted AGN and doubeltjes

E. Orrú, S. van Velzen, R. F. Pizzo +8

The existence of double-double radio galaxies (DDRGs) is evidence for recurrent jet activity in AGN, as expected from standard accretion models. A detailed study of these rare sour…

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…

The brightness and spatial distributions of terrestrial radio sources

A. R. Offringa, A. G. de Bruyn, S. Zaroubi +75

Faint undetected sources of radio-frequency interference (RFI) might become visible in long radio observations when they are consistently present over time. Thereby, they might obs…

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…

Observing pulsars and fast transients with LOFAR

B. W. Stappers, J. W. T. Hessels, A. Alexov +91

Low frequency radio waves, while challenging to observe, are a rich source of information about pulsars. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is a new radio interferometer operating in…
