Abstract
The Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) is under construction in
the Netherlands and in several surrounding European countries. In this
contribution, we describe the layout and design of the telescope, with particular
emphasis on the imaging characteristics of the array when used
in its ‘standard imaging’ mode. After briefly reviewing the calibration
and imaging software used for LOFAR image processing, we show some recent results from the ongoing imaging commissioning efforts. We conclude
by summarizing future prospects for the use of LOFAR in observing
the little-explored low-frequency Universe.
