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…

New methods to constrain the radio transient rate: results from a survey of four fields with LOFAR

D. Carbone, A. J. van der Horst, R. A. M. J. Wijers +23

We report on the results of a search for radio transients between 115 and 190\,MHz with the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR). Four fields have been monitored with cadences between 15 mi…

WSClean: an implementation of a fast, generic wide-field imager for radio astronomy

A. R. Offringa, B. McKinley, N. Hurley-Walker +50

Astronomical widefield imaging of interferometric radio data is computationally expensive, especially for the large data volumes created by modern non-coplanar many-element arrays.…
