LOFAR MSSS: Detection of a low-frequency radio transient in 400 hrs of monitoring of the North Celestial Pole
A. J. Stewart, R. P. Fender, J. W. Broderick +99
We present the results of a four-month campaign searching for low-frequency radio transients near the North Celestial Pole with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), as part of the Mult…
Wide-Band, Low-Frequency Pulse Profiles of 100 Radio Pulsars with LOFAR
M. Pilia, J. W. T. Hessels, B. W. Stappers +84
LOFAR offers the unique capability of observing pulsars across the 10-240 MHz frequency range with a fractional bandwidth of roughly 50%. This spectral range is well-suited for stu…
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…
LOFAR discovery of a quiet emission mode in PSR B0823+26
C. Sobey, N. J. Young, J. W. T. Hessels +91
PSR B0823+26, a 0.53-s radio pulsar, displays a host of emission phenomena over timescales of seconds to (at least) hours, including nulling, subpulse drifting, and mode-changing.…
The peculiar radio galaxy 4C 35.06: a case for recurrent AGN activity?
A. Shulevski, R. Morganti, P. D. Barthel +85
Using observations obtained with the LOw Fequency ARray (LOFAR), the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) and archival Very Large Array (VLA) data, we have traced the radio…
HI observations of the nearest starburst galaxy NGC 253 with the SKA precursor KAT-7
D. M. Lucero, C. Carignan, E. C. Elson +4
We present HI observations of the Sculptor Group starburst spiral galaxy NGC 253, obtained with the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT-7). KAT-7 is a pathfinder for the SKA precursor MeerK…
