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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravitational detection of a low-mass dark satellite galaxy at cosmological distance

TL;DR: The logarithmic slope of the mass function for substructure beyond the local Universe is determined to be , with an average mass fraction of per cent, by combining data on both of these recently discovered galaxies, consistent with the predictions from cold dark matter simulations at the 95 per cent confidence level.
