The effect of the ionosphere on astronomical observations below 100 MHz

© 2017 URSI. We derive the expected systematic error induced by the ionosphere on radio astronomical observations at low frequencies. We compare our predictions with data from the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR). We show that the systematic errors on the phases of the instrument can be described as a su...
