LOFAR: Early imaging results from commissioning for Cygnus A
  The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) will operate between 10 and 250 MHz, and will
observe the low frequency Universe to an unprecedented sensitivity and angular
resolution. The construction and commissioning of LOFAR is well underway, with
over 27 of the Dutch stations and five International stations routinely
performing both single-station and interferometric observations over the
frequency range that LOFAR is anticipated to operate at. Here, we summarize the
capabilities of LOFAR and report on some of the early commissioning imaging of
Cygnus A.
