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).
