Sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope I. Foundational calibration strategy and pipeline
L. K. Morabito, N. J. Jackson, S. Mooney +71
[abridged] The International LOFAR Telescope is an interferometer with stations spread across Europe. With baselines of up to ~2,000 km, LOFAR has the unique capability of achievin…
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…
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…
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…
