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…

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…

Initial LOFAR observations of Epoch of Reionization windows: II. Diffuse polarized emission in the ELAIS-N1 field

V. Jelic, A. G. de Bruyn, M. Mevius +106

This study aims to characterise the polarized foreground emission in the ELAIS-N1 field and to address its possible implications for the extraction of the cosmological 21-cm signal…

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…
