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…

Wide-band Simultaneous Observations of Pulsars: Disentangling Dispersion Measure and Profile Variations

T. E. Hassall, B. W. Stappers, J. W. T. Hessels +91

Dispersion in the interstellar medium is a well known phenomenon that follows a simple relationship, which has been used to predict the time delay of dispersed radio pulses since t…

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…
