LOFAR Observations of Swift J1644+57 and Implications for Short-Duration Transients
Y. Cendes, R. A. M. J. Wijers, J. D. Swinbank +25
Aims: We have analyzed low frequency radio data of tidal disruption event (TDE) Swift J1644+57 to search for a counterpart. We consider how brief transient signals (on the order of…
Measuring a Cherenkov ring in the radio emission from air showers at 110-190 MHz with LOFAR
A. Nelles, P. Schellart, S. Buitink +66
Measuring radio emission from air showers offers a novel way to determine properties of the primary cosmic rays such as their mass and energy. Theory predicts that relativistic tim…
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…
New methods to constrain the radio transient rate: results from a survey of four fields with LOFAR
D. Carbone, A. J. van der Horst, R. A. M. J. Wijers +23
We report on the results of a search for radio transients between 115 and 190\,MHz with the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR). Four fields have been monitored with cadences between 15 mi…
LOFAR low-band antenna observations of the 3C295 and Bootes fields: source counts and ultra-steep spectrum sources
R. J. van Weeren, W. L. Williams, C. Tasse +98
We present LOFAR Low Band observations of the Bootes and 3C295 fields. Our images made at 34, 46, and 62 MHz reach noise levels of 12, 8, and 5 mJy beam, making them the dee…
Radio emissions from pulsar companions : a refutable explanation for galactic transients and fast radio bursts
Fabrice Mottez, Philippe Zarka
The six known highly dispersed fast radio bursts are attributed to extragalactic radio sources, of unknown origin but extremely energetic. We propose here a new explanation - not r…
