SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, has traditionally focused on radio frequencies higher than a gigahertz, such as the hydrogen-line frequency at 1.42 GHz.SETI astronomers tend to ...

LOFAR will use low-band antennas operating at 10–90 MHz and high-band devices operating between 110 and 250 MHz will allow scientists to look back to the formation of the first stars in the universe ...

The giant LOFAR radio telescope network will be used, among other things, to take a close look at giant black holes like the one at the heart of active galaxy Cygnus A (shown here), which is about ...

Amanda Wilber/LOFAR Surveys Team. Related article New sky survey reveals hundreds of thousands of galaxies. This data release was only 27% of the entire survey, Shimwell said.

The 300,000 new galaxies were discovered as part of a study involving 200 scientists from 18 countries, using a Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope in the Netherlands.

LOFAR is currently the only radio telescope network with the capability to produce high-resolution images at frequencies below 100 megahertz. As a radio wave travels across space, its frequency ...

An international team of astronomers has for the first time discovered the largest carbon atoms outside our Milky Way with the LOFAR radio telescope.

The cosmic structure, known as J1601+3102, was captured using the LOFAR telescope network and stretches a staggering 200,000 light-years, nearly three times the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy.

Some 4.4 million space objects billions of light-years away have been mapped by astronomers, including 1 million space objects that hadn’t been spotted before.
