Leszek Błaszkiewicz and Bartosz P. Dąbrowski

The three new LOFAR stations located in Poland and maintained by the POLFAR consortium, working in poorly explored part of the radio spectrum, will be an important tool for radio astronomers. The rst results show that LOFAR is currently excellent tool for pulsar and solar observations. The telescope also allow obtain the data about state of the ionosphere with unprecedented precision. Together with solar monitoring the LOFAR will be great tool for space weather research.
