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…
LOFAR imaging capabilities and system sensitivity
R. J. Nijboer, M. Pandey-Pommier, A. G. de Bruyn
This document describes the general astronomical capabilities of the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR). The frequency range covered by LOFAR is split into two bands denoted as low band (…
Studying Galactic interstellar turbulence through fluctuations in synchrotron emission: First LOFAR Galactic foreground detection
M. Iacobelli, M. Haverkorn, E. Orrú +85
The characteristic outer scale of turbulence and the ratio of the random to ordered components of the magnetic field are key parameters to characterise magnetic turbulence in the i…
The brightness and spatial distributions of terrestrial radio sources
A. R. Offringa, A. G. de Bruyn, S. Zaroubi +75
Faint undetected sources of radio-frequency interference (RFI) might become visible in long radio observations when they are consistently present over time. Thereby, they might obs…
LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray
M. P. van Haarlem, M. W. Wise, A. W. Gunst +197
LOFAR, the LOw-Frequency ARray, is a new-generation radio interferometer constructed in the north of the Netherlands and across europe. Utilizing a novel phased-array design, LOFAR…
Calibrating High-Precision Faraday Rotation Measurements for LOFAR and the Next Generation of Low-Frequency Radio Telescopes
C. Sotomayor-Beltran, C. Sobey, J. W. T. Hessels +77
Faraday rotation measurements using the current and next generation of low-frequency radio telescopes will provide a powerful probe of astronomical magnetic fields. However, achiev…
