Key Science Projects

“Key Science Projects” (KSP) are astronomical applications that helpe to drive the design of LOFAR. For each KSP a team of astronomers is involved with ASTRON in realising the required technical capabilities. 

COSMIC MAGNETISM OF THE NEARBY UNIVERSE	ULTRA HIGH ENERGY COSMIC RAYS	EPOCH OF REIONISATION
SOLAR PHYSICS AND SPACE WEATHER	DEEP EXTRAGALACTIC SURVEYS	TRANSIENTS AND PULSARS

Early results

Some early scientific results of LOFAR can be found  on the early results page. This page will be updated as the commissioning of LOFAR advances.
