Paper resulting from LOFAR-ERIC data

This paper is based (in part) on data obtained with the LOFAR telescope (LOFAR-ERIC) under project code <...>. LOFAR (van Haarlem et al. 2013) is the Low Frequency Array designed and constructed by ASTRON. It has observing, data processing, and data storage facilities in several countries, that are owned by various parties (each with their own funding sources), and that are collectively operated by the LOFAR European Research Infrastructure Consortium (LOFAR-ERIC) under a joint scientific policy. The LOFAR-ERIC resources have benefited from the following recent major funding sources: CNRS-INSU, Observatoire de Paris and Université d'Orléans, France; BMBF, MIWF-NRW, MPG, Germany; Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI), Ireland; NWO, The Netherlands; The Science and Technology Facilities Council, UK; Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Poland [*].
