A total of 96 dual-dipole antennas ( the equivalent of a full LOFAR station ) are grouped in four clusters, the central cluster with 48 dipoles and other three clusters with 16 dipoles each.

LOFAR is an innovative low-frequency radio telescope that has the potential to look back in time to the early epoch of the Universe just after the Big Bang when the first luminous objects were forming.
43.
KASCADE ( including all extensions ) stopped operation in 2013, but a part of the detectors is still used in other experiments for cosmic-ray air showers, e . g ., LOFAR or Tunka.

The first fully complete station, ( " CS302 " ) on the edge of the LOFAR core, was delivered in May 2009, with a total of 40 Dutch stations scheduled for completion in 2013.
45.
LOFAR is the most sensitive radio observatory at its low observing frequencies, until the next generation of large array radio telescope, the "'Square Kilometre Array "'( SKA ), comes online around 2025.
46.
Many international radio telescopes are currently being used for radio SETI searches, including the Low Frequency Array ( LOFAR ) in Europe, the Murchison Widefield Array ( MWA ) in Australia, and the Lovell Telescope in the United Kingdom.
47.
LOFAR combines aspects of many of these earlier telescopes; in particular, it uses omnidirectional dipole antennas as elements of a phased array at individual stations, and combines those phased arrays using the aperture synthesis technique developed in the 1950s.
48.
Naval Facility ( NAVFAC ) Point Sur, south of Monterey, California, was able to isolate a sonic signature on its low frequency array ( LOFAR ) recordings of an implosion event that had occurred on March 8, 1968.

Members of the Astronomy Centre have been and are involved in many international collaborations including the Dark Energy Survey, Herschel Space Observatory, LOFAR, Square Kilometre Array, Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey, Planck ( spacecraft ) and POLARBEAR.
