The Dark Ages Explorer (DEX): a filled-aperture ultra-long wavelength radio interferometer on the lunar far side

C. D. Brinkerink, M. J. Arts, M. J. Bentum +21

The measurement of the spatial fluctuations of the neutral hydrogen 21 cm signal arising during the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn periods of our Universe (z from 200 to 10) holds the p…

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…

LBCS: the LOFAR Long-Baseline Calibrator Survey

N. Jackson, A. Tagore, A. Deller +76

(abridged). We outline LBCS (the LOFAR Long-Baseline Calibrator Survey), whose aim is to identify sources suitable for calibrating the highest-resolution observations made with the…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Observing pulsars and fast transients with LOFAR

B. W. Stappers, J. W. T. Hessels, A. Alexov +91

Low frequency radio waves, while challenging to observe, are a rich source of information about pulsars. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is a new radio interferometer operating in…
