<tt>Hi Anya, all,<br>
<br>
Thanks for sending this! Some first comments: <br>
<br>
*) When an average astronomer reads<br>
"Overall, the fraction of band that has been deleted due to<br>
dropped packages or RFIs is quite substantial (Fig. 3), ranging<br>
from few percent to almost the entire band. Deleted fraction<br>
varies considerably from beam to beam and is present in most<br>
observing runs, not showing a clear dependence on the observing<br>
date." <br>
<br>
They may wonder -- why not re-do it? So right there I would
mention why this data is still interesting. Maybe add:<br>
"<br>
While the data used here may not use LOFAR to its full
capabilities, <br>
</tt><tt><tt>and future and ongoing low-frequency observations (cf.
$5.2) may reach higher signal-to-noise, <br>
</tt>the results we present here are still the most sensitive
obtained to date.<br>
"<br>
<br>
*) It's not clear to me why is $3.2 is where it is. Is that pulsar
so special? There are many other non detections. Perhaps give it
some intro or move to "results" section.<br>
<br>
*) I think the results section could be stronger if we derive some
conclusions from the Fig. C plots. It seems to me that for all
pulsars that previously had no 100 MHz flux, this flux is<br>
1) below a single PL<br>
2) to far below that is requires a multiple PL.<br>
I.e., evidence for a turn over around X MHz (~200?)<br>
Perhaps you can create an "ensemble" spectrum that makes this
statistically stronger? <br>
Because on a per pulsar basis the evidence is reasonably strong
but not solid (as you write) while as a group this is clearly the
behaviour.<br>
<br>
Some, other, smaller, points:<br>
<br>
*) "The last decade faced" <br>
"faced" to me suggests a hurdle, not a boon.<br>
-> </tt><br>
<tt><tt>"The last decade brought" <br>
</tt><br>
Very nice work, this is clearly a very large data undertaking. <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Joeri<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear all,
please find attached the draft of LBA census. Please let us (myself,
Louis, JM & Vlad) know if you have any comments on it. We would like
to submit it on Aug 30 due to Louis'es graduation constraints. Sorry
for the quite short notice, but the paper is short and very simple, so
it should not take long to read it.
Cheers,
Anya
