I will present NenuFAR (New Extension in Nançay upgrading LOFAR), launched as an extension to FR606, the french LOFAR station. Following a definition and prototyping study under a previous ANR contract, it will consist in a set of 15 (phase 1) to 96 (full project) mini-arrays (MA) of 19 antennae each. The MAs will be analog-phased, and optimized for the full 15-80 MHz band.
With the addition of a dedicated receiver, NenuFAR will be both and simultaneously
- an addition to LOFAR, the europe-wide Low-Frequency Array, of which it will significantly increase the capabilities as an alternative to the LBA of FR606;;
- and a stand-alone instrument, available for an original and autnonomous scientific program.
