Scientific paper

LOFAR is a low-frequency radio telescope of revolutionary design that is currently being constructed and will be operational in 2007. In stark contrast to radio dishes, LOFAR is the first telescope that relies on a central supercomputer to combine the signals of ten thousand individual dipoles to form several extremely sensitive, independently steerable beams on the sky. I will discuss how LOFAR opens up a new frequency window with unprecedented sensitivity and why LOFAR will have considerable impact on radio pulsar research.
