Short talk at the workshop Surveying the low frequency sky with LOFAR at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, NL, 8-12 March 2010

Abstract

I briefly explain the reasons why we want to use LOFAR to search for gravitational lenses. Because currently the most urgent task is getting the long baselines running, I concentrate more on the technical challenges that we are trying to solve than on the lensing.

More details on the lensing project can be found in earlier presentations, e.g. here.
