Science at low frequencies with the upgraded LOFAR telescope

Matthias Hoeft
Thüringer Landessternwarte

The Low Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is the world's largest and most sensitive low-frequency radio telescope. The ongoing LOFAR2.0 technical upgrade and two new international LOFAR stations integrated into the array will further improve the sensitivity and versatility of the instrument, especially at very low frequencies. I will review the LOFAR2.0 upgrade and the new scientific opportunities it will bring.
