A long baseline science case for LOFAR
A long baseline science case for LOFAR LOFAR is to exceed its current 100 km maximal baselines which will be largely thanks to other European countries namely: Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Sweden and Poland. These countries' active radio astronomy communities have shown a lot of enthusiasm and initiative to extend LOFAR beyond its planned baselines.

A first step towards a LOFAR long baseline science case was taken by organising a workshop bringing all LOFAR interested countries together to explore the exciting science which can be done with an extended LOFAR. This workshop was organised by ASTRON and took place on May 15 and 16, 2006, at ASTRON.

The scientific value of en extended LOFAR was discussed extensively at this workshop. A lot of interesting scientific topics were identified. It was decided that all contributions will be formulated into one to two page documents. The submission deadline for these contributions is the 30th of June 2006. A template file for your contribution can be downloaded here.
