Description
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey is a deep low frequency survey of the northern sky. We are preparing to release LoTSS-DR3 which consists of images and data products covering about 90% of the northern sky. These data products were created from 13,000hrs (or 19PB) of observations and took around 20 million CPU core hours to produce. The survey images contain over 13.7 million sources and typically have a sensitivity of 0.1mJy/beam at a resolution of 6arcseconds.
In this talk I shall provide an update on LoTSS including survey progress, challenges, plans for the upcoming data release and ambitions to build upon LoTSS once the LOFAR2.0 upgrade is complete.
