Astro2020 Science White Paper: Radio Counterparts of Compact Object Mergers in the Era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
Alessandra Corsi, Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Dario Carbone +9
GHz radio astronomy has played a fundamental role in the recent dazzling discovery of GW170817, a neutron star (NS)-NS merger observed in both gravitational waves (GWs) and light a…
Science with an ngVLA: Compact binary mergers as traced by gravitational waves
Alessandra Corsi, Dale A. Frail, Davide Lazzati +5
In light of the recent dazzling discovery of GW170817, we discuss several new scientific opportunities that would emerge in multi-messenger time-domain astrophysics if a facility l…
Identifying transient and variable sources in radio images
Antonia Rowlinson, Adam J. Stewart, Jess W. Broderick +16
With the arrival of a number of wide-field snapshot image-plane radio transient surveys, there will be a huge influx of images in the coming years making it impossible to manually…
RFI Flagging Implications for Short-Duration Transients
Y. Cendes, P. Prasad, A. Rowlinson +24
With their wide fields of view and often relatively long coverage of any position in the sky in imaging survey mode, modern radio telescopes provide a data stream that is naturally…
The ASKAP/EMU Source Finding Data Challenge
A. M. Hopkins, M. T. Whiting, N. Seymour +31
The Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) is a proposed radio continuum survey of the Southern Hemisphere up to declination +30 deg., with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pa…
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…
The LOFAR Transients Pipeline
John D. Swinbank, Tim D. Staley, Gijs J. Molenaar +23
Current and future astronomical survey facilities provide a remarkably rich opportunity for transient astronomy, combining unprecedented fields of view with high sensitivity and th…
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…
New methods to constrain the radio transient rate: results from a survey of four fields with LOFAR
D. Carbone, A. J. van der Horst, R. A. M. J. Wijers +23
We report on the results of a search for radio transients between 115 and 190\,MHz with the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR). Four fields have been monitored with cadences between 15 mi…
