Choosing a Maximum Drift Rate in a SETI Search: Astrophysical Considerations

Sofia Z. Sheikh, Jason T. Wright, Andrew P. Siemion +1

A radio transmitter which is accelerating with a non-zero radial component with respect to a receiver will produce a signal that appears to change its frequency over time. This eff…

Search for Cosmic Particles with the Moon and LOFAR

T. Winchen, A. Bonardi, S. Buitink +14

The low flux of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) at the highest energies provides a challenge to answer the long standing question about their origin and nature. A signifi…

Timing calibration and spectral cleaning of LOFAR time series data

A. Corstanje, S. Buitink, J. E. Enriquez +10

We describe a method for spectral cleaning and timing calibration of short voltage time series data from individual radio interferometer receivers. It makes use of the phase differ…
