LOFAR: Early imaging results from commissioning for Cygnus A


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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 construction and commissioning of LOFAR is well underway, with over 27 of the Dutch stations and five International stations routinely performing both single-station and interferometric observations over the frequency range that LOFAR is anticipated to operate at. Here, we summarize the capabilities of LOFAR and report on some of the early commissioning imaging of Cygnus A.
