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…
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…
Comet: A VOEvent Broker
John Swinbank
The VOEvent standard provides a means of describing transient celestial events in a machine-readable format. This is an essential step towards analysing and, where appropriate, res…
The LOFAR Pilot Surveys for Pulsars and Fast Radio Transients
Thijs Coenen, Joeri van Leeuwen, Jason W. T. Hessels +87
We have conducted two pilot surveys for radio pulsars and fast transients with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) around 140 MHz and here report on the first low-frequency fast-radio…
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…
LOFAR Sparse Image Reconstruction
H. Garsden, J. N. Girard, J. L. Starck +77
Context. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) radio telescope is a giant digital phased array interferometer with multiple antennas distributed in Europe. It provides discrete sets of F…
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…
Discovery of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines in absorption towards Cygnus~A
J. B. R. Oonk, R. J. van Weeren, F. Salgado +100
We present the first detection of carbon radio recombination line absorption along the line of sight to Cygnus A. The observations were carried out with the LOw Frequency ARray in…
