LOFAR: opening a new window on low frequency radio astronomy
R. Morganti, G. Heald, J. Hessels +8
This contribution reports on the status of LOFAR (the LOw Frequency ARray) in its ongoing commissioning phase. The purpose is to illustrate the progress that is being made, often o…
Probing the Magnetic Fields of Nearby Spiral Galaxies at Low Frequencies with LOFAR
D. D. Mulcahy, R. Drzazga, B. Adebahr +12
While the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is still in its commissioning phase, early science results are starting to emerge. Two nearby galaxies, M51 and NGC4631, have been observed as…
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 and APERTIF surveys of the radio sky: probing shocks and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters
Huub Rottgering, Jose Afonso, Peter Barthel +32
At very low frequencies, the new pan-European radio telescope LOFAR is opening the last unexplored window of the electromagnetic spectrum for astrophysical studies. The revolutiona…
LOFAR: Recent imaging results & future prospects
George Heald, Michael R. Bell, Andreas Horneffer +27
The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is under construction in the Netherlands and in several surrounding European countries. In this contribution, we describe the layout and design of 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…
