Sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope I. Foundational calibration strategy and pipeline
L. K. Morabito, N. J. Jackson, S. Mooney +71
[abridged] The International LOFAR Telescope is an interferometer with stations spread across Europe. With baselines of up to ~2,000 km, LOFAR has the unique capability of achievin…
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…
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…
LOFAR Sparse Image Reconstruction
H. Garsden, J. N. Girard, J. L. Starck +77
Context. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) radio telescope is a giant digital phased array interferometer with multiple antennas distributed in Europe. It provides discrete sets of F…
Detecting cosmic rays with the LOFAR radio telescope
P. Schellart, A. Nelles, S. Buitink +102
The low frequency array (LOFAR), is the first radio telescope designed with the capability to measure radio emission from cosmic-ray induced air showers in parallel with interferom…
