Applying full polarization A-Projection to very wide field of view instruments: An imager for LOFAR
C. Tasse, B. van der Tol, J. van Zwieten +2
The aimed high sensitivities and large fields of view of the new generation of interferometers impose to reach high dynamic range of order 1: to 1: in the case of…
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…
LOFAR: Early imaging results from commissioning for Cygnus A
John McKean, Louise Ker, Reinout J. van Weeren +19
The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) will operate between 10 and 250 MHz, and will observe the low frequency Universe to an unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. The constru…
Progress with the LOFAR Imaging Pipeline
George Heald, John McKean, Roberto Pizzo +14
One of the science drivers of the new Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is large-area surveys of the low-frequency radio sky. Realizing this goal requires automated processing of the int…
