    • Calibrating the relation of low-frequency radio continuum to star formation rate at 1 kpc scale with LOFAR 

      Heesen, V.; E., Buie II; Huff, C. J.; Perez, L. A.; Woolsey, J. G.; Rafferty, D. A.; Basu, A.; Beck, R.; Brinks, E.; Horellou, C.; Scannapieco, E.; Brüggen, M.; Dettmar, R. -J.; Sendlinger, K.; Nikiel-Wroczyński, B.; Chyży, K. T.; Best, P.N.; Heald, George H.; Paladino, R. (2018-10-15)
      Radio continuum (RC) emission in galaxies allows us to measure star formation rates (SFRs) unaffected by extinction due to dust, of which the low-frequency part is uncontaminated from thermal (free-free) emission. We ...
    • Detection of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium of nearby galaxies using Faraday rotation 

      Heesen, V.; O'Sullivan, S. P.; Brüggen, M.; Basu, A.; Beck, R.; Seta, A.; Carretti, E.; Krause, M. G. H.; Haverkorn, M.; Hutschenreuter, S.; Bracco, A.; Stein, M.; Bomans, D. J.; Dettmar, R. -J.; Chyży, K. T.; Heald, G. H.; Paladino, R.; Horellou, C. (2023-02-24)
      Context. The existence of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is largely unconstrained. Their detection is important as magnetic fields can have a significant impact on the evolution of the CGM and, in turn, ...
    • Exploring the making of a galactic wind in the star-bursting dwarf irregular galaxy IC 10 with LOFAR 

      Heesen, V.; Rafferty, D. A.; Horneffer, A.; Beck, R.; Basu, A.; Westcott, J.; Hindson, L.; Brinks, E.; Chyży, K. T.; Scaife, A. M. M.; Brüggen, M.; Heald, George; Fletcher, A.; Horellou, C.; Tabatabaei, F. S.; Paladino, R.; Nikiel-Wroczyński, B.; Hoeft, M.; Dettmar, R. -J. (2018-05-11)
      Low-mass galaxies are subject to strong galactic outflows, in which cosmic rays may play an important role; they can be best traced with low-frequency radio continuum observations, which are less affected by spectral ageing. ...
    • LOFAR Deep Fields : Probing a broader population of polarized radio galaxies in ELAIS-N1 

      Ruiz, N. Herrera; O'Sullivan, S. P.; Vacca, V.; Jelić, V.; Nikiel-Wroczyński, B.; Bourke, S.; Sabater, J.; Dettmar, R. -J.; Heald, G.; Horellou, C.; Piras, S.; Sobey, C.; Shimwell, T. W.; Tasse, C.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Kondapally, R.; Chyży, K. T.; Iacobelli, M.; Best, P. N.; Brüggen, M.; Carretti, E.; Prandoni, I. (2021-04-07)
      We present deep polarimetric observations of the European Large Area ISO Survey-North 1 (ELAIS-N1) field using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) at 114.9-177.4 MHz. The ELAIS-N1 field is part of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey ...
    • LOFAR MSSS: Flattening low-frequency radio continuum spectra of nearby galaxies 

      Chyży, K. T.; Jurusik, W.; Piotrowska, J.; Nikiel-Wroczyński, B.; Heesen, V.; Vacca, V.; Nowak, N.; Paladino, R.; Surma, P.; Sridhar, S. S.; Heald, G.; Beck, R.; Conway, J.; Sendlinger, K.; Curyło, M.; Mulcahy, D.; Broderick, J. W.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Callingham, J. R.; Gürkan, G.; Iacobelli, M.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Adebahr, B.; Shulevski, A.; Dettmar, R. -J.; Breton, R. P.; Clarke, A. O.; Farnes, J. S.; Orrú, E.; Pandey, V. N.; Pandey-Pommier, M.; Pizzo, R.; Riseley, C. J.; Rowlinson, A.; Scaife, A. M. M.; Stewart, A. J.; Horst, A. J. van der; Weeren, R. J. van (2018-11-07)
      Aims. The shape of low-frequency radio continuum spectra of normal galaxies is not well understood, the key question being the role of physical processes such as thermal absorption in shaping them. In this work we take ...
    • Nearby galaxies in the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey : I. Insights into the non-linearity of the radio–SFR relation 

      Heesen, V.; Staffehl, M.; Basu, A.; Beck, R.; Stein, M.; Tabatabaei, F. S.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Chyży, K. T.; Shimwell, T. W.; Adebahr, B.; Beswick, R.; Bomans, D. J.; Botteon, A.; Brinks, E.; Brüggen, M.; Dettmar, R. -J.; Drabent, A.; Gasperin, F. de; Gürkan, G.; Heald, G. H.; Horellou, C.; Nikiel-Wroczynski, B.; Paladino, R.; Piotrowska, J.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Smith, D. J. B.; Tasse, C. (2022-08-08)
      Context. Cosmic rays and magnetic fields are key ingredients in galaxy evolution, regulating both stellar feedback and star formation. Their properties can be studied with low-frequency radio continuum observations, free ...
