Identified science topics
In the end of the meeting, it was decided that
all contributors will write a page or two about their topics. The
submission deadline is the 30th of June 2006. These contributions
will be made available through this webpage and a first draft of
the LOFAR long baseline science case combining all contributions
will be available soon thereafter.
Please find below the various identified topics with the name of the contributor.
1) Astronomical feasibility
• Confusion (Huub Röttgering)
• Scattering (Ger de Bruyn)
• Ionospheric calibration (???)
2) Solar system science
• Solar science and space weather (Christian Vocks)
• Jupiter bursts & the structure of the Jovian magnetosphere (Philippe Zarka)
• Planetary Lightening (Philippe Zarka)
3) Extragalactic Science
• Nearby starbursts (John Conway)
• High redshift starbursts (Rob Beswick)
• High redshift radio galaxies (George Miley)
• HI absorption at high redshifts (Raffaella Morganti)
• High redshift OH Masers (Willem Baan)
• Cluster Lensing -- E-LOFAR deep fields (Mike Garrett, Olaf Wucknitz)
• Extragalactic surveys with long baselines (Matthew Jarvis)
• Low energy end of the electron spectrum (Gianfranco Brunetti)
• Collimated outflows and galaxy evolution with LOFAR (Andrei Lobanov)
• The first black holes (Heino Falcke)
• Constraining matter content of the FR-I Jets (Robert Laing)
4) Polarisation (Galactic & Extragalactic)
• Linear polarisation at low frequencies (Ger de Bruyn)
• Rotation measure of isolated FR-I galaxies (Robert Laing)
• High resolution low frequency mapping of the Milky-Way (Wolfgang Reich)

• Pulsars: slow rotating pulsars, proper motion (Ben Stappers, James Anderson)
• Weak lensing (Matt Jarvis is responsible)
• Galactic relativistic jets (Rob Fender)
• (Interstellar &) intergalactic scattering as a scientific tool (Ger de Bruyn)
