LOFAR: opening a new window on low frequency radio astronomy
R. Morganti, G. Heald, J. Hessels +8
This contribution reports on the status of LOFAR (the LOw Frequency ARray) in its ongoing commissioning phase. The purpose is to illustrate the progress that is being made, often o…
LOFAR and APERTIF surveys of the radio sky: probing shocks and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters
Huub Rottgering, Jose Afonso, Peter Barthel +32
At very low frequencies, the new pan-European radio telescope LOFAR is opening the last unexplored window of the electromagnetic spectrum for astrophysical studies. The revolutiona…
LOFAR: Recent imaging results & future prospects
George Heald, Michael R. Bell, Andreas Horneffer +27
The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is under construction in the Netherlands and in several surrounding European countries. In this contribution, we describe the layout and design of t…
LOFAR: Early imaging results from commissioning for Cygnus A
John McKean, Louise Ker, Reinout J. van Weeren +19
The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) will operate between 10 and 250 MHz, and will observe the low frequency Universe to an unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. The constru…
Testing Black Hole Jet Scaling Relations in Low Luminosity AGN
F. de Gasperin, A. Merloni, P. Sell +3
We present the results of the analysis of a sample of 17 low-luminosity (L_x < 1e42 erg/s), radio loud AGNs in massive galaxies. The sample is extracted from the SDSS database and…
Effect of Fourier filters in removing periodic systematic effects from CMB data
F. de Gasperin, A. Mennella, D. Maino +8
We consider the application of high-pass Fourier filters to remove periodic systematic fluctuations from full-sky survey CMB datasets. We compare the filter performance with destri…
