The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey - I. Survey Description and Preliminary Data Release

T. W. Shimwell, H. J. A. Röttgering, P. N. Best +69

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is a deep 120-168 MHz imaging survey that will eventually cover the entire Northern sky. Each of the 3170 pointings will be observed for 8 hr…

The Lockman Hole project: LOFAR observations and spectral index properties of low-frequency radio sources

E. K. Mahony, R. Morganti, I. Prandoni +21

The Lockman Hole is a well-studied extragalactic field with extensive multi-band ancillary data covering a wide range in frequency, essential for characterising the physical and ev…

Using baseline-dependent window functions for data compression and field-of-interest shaping in radio interferometry

M. T. Atemkeng, O. M. Smirnov, C. Tasse +2

In radio interferometry, observed visibilities are intrinsically sampled at some interval in time and frequency. Modern interferometers are capable of producing data at very high t…

LOFAR/H-ATLAS: A deep low-frequency survey of the Herschel-ATLAS North Galactic Pole field

M. J. Hardcastle, G. Gürkan, R. J. van Weeren +25

We present LOFAR High-Band Array (HBA) observations of the Herschel-ATLAS North Galactic Pole survey area. The survey we have carried out, consisting of four pointings covering aro…

LOFAR 150-MHz observations of the Boötes field: Catalogue and Source Counts

W. L. Williams, R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Röttgering +32

We present the first wide area (19 deg), deep ( μJy beam), high resolution ( arcsec) LOFAR High Band Antenna image of the Boötes field ma…

A large light-mass component of cosmic rays at 10^{17} - 10^{17.5} eV from radio observations

S. Buitink, A. Corstanje, H. Falcke +101

Cosmic rays are the highest energy particles found in nature. Measurements of the mass composition of cosmic rays between 10^{17} eV and 10^{18} eV are essential to understand whet…
