      Botteon, A.; Brunetti, G.; Weeren, R. J. van; Shimwell, T. W.; Pizzo, R. F.; Cassano, R.; Iacobelli, M.; Gastaldello, F.; Bîrzan, L.; Bonafede, A.; Brüggen, M.; Cuciti, V.; Dallacasa, D.; Gasperin, F. de; Gennaro, G. Di; Drabent, A.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Hoeft, M.; Mandal, S.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Simionescu, A. (2020-07-07)
      We present LOFAR observations of one of the most spectacular objects in the radio sky: Abell 2255. This is a nearby ($z = 0.0806$) merging galaxy cluster hosting one of the first radio halos ever detected in the intra-cluster ...

    • LOFAR discovery of a radio halo in the high-redshift galaxy cluster PSZ2 G099.86+58.45 

      Cassano, R.; Botteon, A.; Gennaro, G. Di; Brunetti, G.; Sereno, M.; Shimwell, T. W.; Weeren, R. J. van; Brüggen, M.; Gastaldello, F.; Izzo, L.; Bîrzan, L.; Bonafede, A.; Cuciti, V.; Gasperin, F. de; Rötttgering, H. J. A.; Hardcastle, M.; Mechev, A. P.; Tasse, C. (2019-08-19)
      In this Letter, we report the discovery of a radio halo in the high-redshift galaxy cluster PSZ2 G099.86+58.45 ($z=0.616$) with the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) at 120-168 MHz. This is one of the most distant radio halos ...

S.; Orrú, E.; Pizzo, R.; Simionescu, A.; Stroe, A.; Tol, S. van der; White, G.J. (2016-03-07)
      LOFAR, the Low-Frequency Array, is a powerful new radio telescope operating between 10 and 240 MHz. LOFAR allows detailed sensitive high-resolution studies of the low-frequency radio sky. At the same time LOFAR also provides ...

    • LOFAR MSSS: The Scaling Relation between AGN Cavity Power and Radio Luminosity at Low Radio Frequencies 

      Kokotanekov, G.; Wise, Michael; Heald, G. H.; McKean, J. P.; Bîrzan, L.; Rafferty, D. A.; Godfrey, L. E H; Vries, M. de; Intema, Huib T.; Broderick, J. W.; Hardcastle, M.

H.; Pandey, V. N.; Jurusik, W.; Mulcahy, D. D. (2017-09-07)
      We present a new analysis of the widely used relation between cavity power and radio luminosity in clusters of galaxies with evidence for strong AGN feedback. We study the correlation at low radio frequencies using two new ...

    • LOFAR, VLA, and Chandra observations of the Toothbrush galaxy cluster 

      Van Weeren, R. J.; Brunetti, G.; Brüggen, M.; Andrade-Santos, F.; Ogrean, G. A.; Williams, W. L.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Dawson, W.
