TL;DR: In dit artikel zullen the authors LOFAR beschrijven: van de astronomische mogelijkheden met de nieuwe telescoop tot aan een nadere technische beshrijving of het instrument.

TL;DR: The International LOFAR Telescope (ILT) as mentioned in this paper is a new-generation radio interferometer constructed in the north of the Netherlands and across europe, which covers the largely unexplored low frequency range from 10-240 MHz and provides a number of unique observing capabilities.

TL;DR: Radio observations using very long-baseline interferometry find that the compact radio source associated with GW170817 exhibits superluminal apparent motion between 75 days and 230 days after the merger event, which breaks the degeneracy between the choked- and successful-jet cocoon models.

TL;DR: The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) as mentioned in this paper is a deep 120-168 MHz imaging survey that will eventually cover the entire northern sky, where each of the 3170 pointings will be observed for 8 h, which, at most declinations, is sufficient to produce ~5? resolution images with a sensitivity of ~100?Jy/beam and accomplish the main scientific aims of the survey, which are to explore the formation and evolution of massive black holes, galaxies, clusters of galaxies and large-scale structure.

TL;DR: Multi-frequency radio measurements of a newly discovered pulsar close to the Galactic Centre are reported and it is shown that the pulsar’s unusually large Faraday rotation indicates that there is a dynamically important magnetic field near the black hole.
