The AARTFAAC 60 MHz transients survey
Mark Kuiack, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers, Aleksandar Shulevski +4
We report the experimental setup and overall results of the AARTFAAC wide-field radio survey, which consists of observing the sky within 50 of Zenith, with a bandwidth of 3…
Long-term study of extreme giant pulses from PSR B0950+08 with AARTFAAC
Mark J. Kuiack, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers, Antonia Rowlinson +4
We report on the detection of extreme giant pulses (GPs) from one of the oldest-known pulsars, the highly variable PSR B0950+08, with the Amsterdam-ASTRON Radio Transient Facility…
AARTFAAC Flux Density Calibration and Northern Hemisphere Catalogue at 60 MHz
Mark Kuiack, Folkert Huizinga, Gijs Molenaar +3
We present a method for calibrating the flux density scale for images generated by the Amsterdam ASTRON Radio Transient Facility And Analysis Centre (AARTFAAC). AARTFAAC produces a…
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…
Kliko - The Scientific Compute Container Format
Gijs Molenaar, Spheshile Makhathini, Julien N. Girard +1
Kliko is a Docker-based container specification for running one or multiple related compute jobs. The key concepts of Kliko are the encapsulation of data processing software into a…
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…
LOFAR 150-MHz observations of SS 433 and W 50
J. W. Broderick, R. P. Fender, J. C. A. Miller-Jones +28
We present LOFAR high-band data over the frequency range 115-189 MHz for the X-ray binary SS 433, obtained in an observing campaign from 2013 February - 2014 May. Our results inclu…
KERN
Gijs Molenaar, Oleg Smirnov
KERN is a bi-annually released set of radio astronomical software packages. It should contain most of the standard tools that a radio astronomer needs to work with radio telescope…
The AARTFAAC All Sky Monitor: System Design and Implementation
Peeyush Prasad, Folkert Huizinga, Eric Kooistra +8
The Amsterdam-ASTRON Radio Transients Facility And Analysis Center (AARTFAAC) all sky monitor is a sensitive, real time transient detector based on the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR).…
Low-radio-frequency eclipses of the redback pulsar J2215+5135 observed in the image plane with LOFAR
J. W. Broderick, R. P. Fender, R. P. Breton +30
The eclipses of certain types of binary millisecond pulsars (i.e. `black widows' and `redbacks') are often studied using high-time-resolution, `beamformed' radio observations. Howe…
LOFAR MSSS: Detection of a low-frequency radio transient in 400 hrs of monitoring of the North Celestial Pole
A. J. Stewart, R. P. Fender, J. W. Broderick +99
We present the results of a four-month campaign searching for low-frequency radio transients near the North Celestial Pole with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), as part of the Mult…
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…
LOFAR Observations of Swift J1644+57 and Implications for Short-Duration Transients
Y. Cendes, R. A. M. J. Wijers, J. D. Swinbank +25
Aims: We have analyzed low frequency radio data of tidal disruption event (TDE) Swift J1644+57 to search for a counterpart. We consider how brief transient signals (on the order of…
