Probing Ionospheric Structures using the LOFAR radio telescope
M. Mevius, S. van der Tol, V. N. Pandey +24
LOFAR is the LOw Frequency Radio interferometer ARray located at mid-latitude (). Here, we present results on ionospheric structures derived from 29 LOFAR nighttim…
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…
LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray
M. P. van Haarlem, M. W. Wise, A. W. Gunst +197
LOFAR, the LOw-Frequency ARray, is a new-generation radio interferometer constructed in the north of the Netherlands and across europe. Utilizing a novel phased-array design, LOFAR…
Initial deep LOFAR observations of Epoch of Reionization windows: I. The North Celestial Pole
S. Yatawatta, A. G. de Bruyn, M. A. Brentjens +86
The aim of the LOFAR Epoch of Reionization (EoR) project is to detect the spectral fluctuations of the redshifted HI 21cm signal. This signal is weaker by several orders of magnitu…
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…
