Abstract
AbstractAt very low frequencies, the new pan-European radio telescope, LOFAR, is opening the last unexplored window of the electromagnetic spectrum for astrophysical studies. LOFAR will deeply survey the northern sky from ~ 10 up to 240 MHz. In this contribution we briefly describe some of the capabilities of LOFAR and the surveys planned to study fundamental issues related to the formation and evolution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. We describe some of the challenges of low frequency observations with LOFAR and our progress in overcoming them. Further, we present some recent results from the ongoing imaging commissioning efforts. In the second part we discuss our studies of Low Excitation and High Excitation Radio Galaxies in the Boötes field and how LOFAR Surveys will help in studying their evolution.
