LOFAR, the Low-Frequency Array, is a powerful new radio telescope operating between 10 and 240 MHz. LOFAR allows detailed sensitive high-resolution studies of the low-frequency radio sky. At the same time LOFAR also provides excellent short…
High resolution (~1 arcminute) astronomical imaging at low frequency (below 150 MHz) has only recently become practical with the development of new calibration algorithms for removing ionospheric distortions. In addition to opening a new…
I present the first molecular line survey of the strongly lensed submillimetre galaxy SPT-S J002706-5007.4 ($z = 3.44$) using the new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band~2 receivers (67 - 116 GHz), whose commissioning…
The maximum baseline, and therefore resolution, of optical astronomical interferometers is limited by attenuation and phase noise within the optical path between the apertures and beam combiner, as well as the practical challenges of…
