Built by ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, the Low-Frequency Array (better known as LOFAR) is the first of its kind—a telescope that uses a gigantic collection of small ...

A team of astronomers have made a fascinating discovery that forces us to rethink our understanding of how dead stars behave.

However, there is still a long way to go along this road. Most of the antenna stations of the international LOFAR telescope have already been rolled out across the Netherlands and Europe.

LOFAR (Low Frequency Array), which is co-ordinated by ASTRON in the Netherlands, is a network of radio telescopes designed to study the sky at the lowest radio frequencies accessible from the ...

Built by a consortium under the leadership of the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, LOFAR consists of some 36 antenna stations throughout the Netherlands and nearby countries such as Germany, ...

LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) will be the largest radio telescope ever built, currently under construction by a consortium led by ASTRON, the Netherlands Foundation for Research in Astronomy.

For the first time, the signals from antenna stations of the giant radio telescope LOFAR in the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom have been simultaneously combined together in ...

LOFAR works by connecting thousands of small antennas spread right across Europe using high speed internet and a massive supercomputer near its central core at The Netherlands Institute for Radio ...

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.

The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) will consist of banks of antennas in 48 stations in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe, all hooked up by fiber optic cables. Signals from these stations will ...

Unlocking secrets of the universe This batch of data is the second from the LOFAR sky survey to be made public and covers 13 times the area of the first release, which logged the radio signals of ...
