The Tight Competitive Ratio of Greedy for Online Steiner Forest

Iman Gholami, Ilya Hajiaghayi, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi +1

The online Steiner Forest problem is a fundamental network design problem in which terminal pairs arrive one at a time and an algorithm must irrevocably purchase edges connecting e…

Probing Atmospheric Electric Fields in Thunderstorms through Radio Emission from Cosmic-Ray-Induced Air Showers

P. Schellart, T. N. G. Trinh, S. Buitink +71

We present measurements of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers that took place during thunderstorms. The intensity and polarization patterns of these air showers are radical…

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…
