Neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts with LOFAR Original Research Article

LOFAR, the low-frequency array, is an innovative new radio telescope currently under construction in The Netherlands. With its continuous monitoring of the radio sky we expect LOFAR will detect many new transient events, including GRB afterglows and pulsating/single-burst neutron stars. We here describe all-sky surveys ranging from a time resolution of microseconds to a cadence span of years.
