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 ...

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 ...

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.

Astronomers detect 10 billion-year-old radio waves from a distant galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, revealing a mini-halo that suggests black holes or cosmic collisions energize galaxies.

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 ...

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.

Using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), European astronomers have investigated a galaxy cluster designated CIZA J2242.8+5301, dubbed the Sausage cluster. The observations conducted at very low ...

"Our LOFAR survey only covered 15 percent of the sky. And most of these giant jets are likely difficult to spot, so we believe there are many more of these behemoths out there." ...
