a) Map of a LOFAR 126-beam tied-array pointing at the Sun. The center beam is pointing at the Sun center with successive beams around it in a honeycomb pattern to cover the station field-of-view (FOV) of ~3.3°. The circles represent the beam size at a frequency of 45 MHz. The separation between beam centers is ~ 14′. b) 30 min dynamic spectrum recorded by one of the LOFAR tied-array beams (Beam 4) indicated in panel a), on 2013 February 28. There are multiple Type III radio bursts in this observation. c) X-ray lightcurve measured by the GOES satellite during the time of the observation for two channels. The labels A, B, C and M represent solar flare classes based on the solar X-ray flux, with A being the smallest class of flares.
