LOW FREQUENCY RADIO ASTRONOMY AND THE LOFAR OBS...

This book presents lecture materials from the Third LOFAR Data School  transformed into a
coherent and complete reference book describing the LOFAR design  along with descriptions of
primary science cases  data processing techniques  and recipes for data handling. Together with
hands-on exercises the chapters  based on the lecture notes  teach fundamentals and practical
knowledge. LOFAR is a new and innovative radio telescope operating at low radio frequencies
(10-250 MHz) and is the first of a new generation of radio interferometers that are leading the
way to the ambitious Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to be built in the next decade. This unique
reference guide serves as a primary information source for research groups around the world
that seek to make the most of LOFAR data  as well as those who will push these topics forward
to the next level with the design  construction  and realization of the SKA. This book will
also be useful as supplementary reading material for any astrophysics overview or astrophysical
techniques course  particularly those geared towards radio astronomy (and radio astronomy
techniques).
