LOFAR discovery of a quiet emission mode in PSR B0823+26

C. Sobey, N. J. Young, J. W. T. Hessels +91

PSR B0823+26, a 0.53-s radio pulsar, displays a host of emission phenomena over timescales of seconds to (at least) hours, including nulling, subpulse drifting, and mode-changing.…

LOFAR low-band antenna observations of the 3C295 and Bootes fields: source counts and ultra-steep spectrum sources

R. J. van Weeren, W. L. Williams, C. Tasse +98

We present LOFAR Low Band observations of the Bootes and 3C295 fields. Our images made at 34, 46, and 62 MHz reach noise levels of 12, 8, and 5 mJy beam, making them the dee…

The LOFAR Pilot Surveys for Pulsars and Fast Radio Transients

Thijs Coenen, Joeri van Leeuwen, Jason W. T. Hessels +87

We have conducted two pilot surveys for radio pulsars and fast transients with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) around 140 MHz and here report on the first low-frequency fast-radio…

LOFAR tied-array imaging of Type III solar radio bursts

D. E. Morosan, P. T. Gallagher, P. Zucca +82

The Sun is an active source of radio emission which is often associated with energetic phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). At low radio frequencies (<…

Lunar occultation of the diffuse radio sky: LOFAR measurements between 35 and 80 MHz

H. K. Vedantham, L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn +91

We present radio observations of the Moon between and MHz to demonstrate a novel technique of interferometrically measuring large-scale diffuse emission extending far bey…

Initial LOFAR observations of Epoch of Reionization windows: II. Diffuse polarized emission in the ELAIS-N1 field

V. Jelic, A. G. de Bruyn, M. Mevius +106

This study aims to characterise the polarized foreground emission in the ELAIS-N1 field and to address its possible implications for the extraction of the cosmological 21-cm signal…

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…

The shape of the radio wavefront of extensive air showers as measured with LOFAR

A. Corstanje, P. Schellart, A. Nelles +78

Extensive air showers, induced by high energy cosmic rays impinging on the Earth's atmosphere, produce radio emission that is measured with the LOFAR radio telescope. As the emissi…

Discovery of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines in absorption towards Cygnus~A

J. B. R. Oonk, R. J. van Weeren, F. Salgado +100

We present the first detection of carbon radio recombination line absorption along the line of sight to Cygnus A. The observations were carried out with the LOw Frequency ARray in…

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…
