LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray

M. P. van Haarlem, +222 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray

M. P. van Haarlem, +199 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey. I. Survey description and preliminary data release

Timothy W. Shimwell, +85 more
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.

An extreme magneto-ionic environment associated with the fast radio burst source FRB 121102

TL;DR: Observations of FRB 121102 show almost 100 per cent linearly polarized emission at a very high and variable Faraday rotation measure, demonstrating that the fast radio burst source is in an extreme and dynamic magneto-ionic environment, and the short durations of the bursts suggest a neutron star origin.
