| Abstract |
LOFAR achieves high time resolution (< 1 s samples) using its various beam-formed modes. These modes are vital for observations of pulsars, fast radio transients, the Sun, (exo)planets, flare stars and dynamic spectra of scintillating sources—to name a few examples. Here we describe the observing modes and tools available to process raw LOFAR beam-formed data, including the standard pulsar pipeline (‘PulP’; pulppy) and further analysis—with a focus on pulsar dedispersion, folding, RFI excision, polarimetry and searching. We also describe a general purpose dynamic spectrum toolkit.
