AbstractLOFAR is not only suitable for the imaging of steady sources, but can also detect variable phenomena and unpredictable events. Such sources include radio bursts from sources within the Solar system (the Sun, Jupiter) and radiation arising in Extensive Air Showers (EAS) from Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (E > 1016 eV).
Using the LOFAR test stations ITS and LOPES, radio bursts from the
Sun and Jupiter have been detected. Radio emission from particles in
EAS is now being monitored permanently by LOPES, which is triggered
by conventional air shower detectors. An independent trigger for CR
detection with ITS will be in operation soon. First observations
with LOPES/ITS will be presented.
