    • The Faraday Rotation Measure Grid of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: Data Release 2 

      O'Sullivan, S. P.; Shimwell, T. W.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Tasse, C.; Heald, G.; Carretti, E.; Brüggen, M.; Vacca, V.; Sobey, C.; Eck, C. L. Van; Horellou, C.; Beck, R.; Bilicki, M.; Bourke, S.; Botteon, A.; Croston, J. H.; Drabent, A.; Duncan, K.; Heesen, V.; Ideguchi, S.; Kirwan, M.; Lawlor, L.; Mingo, B.; Nikiel-Wroczyński, B.; Piotrowska, J.; Scaife, A. M. M.; Weeren, R. J. van (2023-01-02)
      A Faraday rotation measure (RM) catalogue, or RM Grid, is a valuable resource for the study of cosmic magnetism. Using the second data release (DR2) from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we have produced a catalogue ...

    • The intergalactic magnetic field probed by a giant radio galaxy 

      O'Sullivan, S. P.; Machalski, J.; Eck, C. L. Van; Heald, G.; Brueggen, M.; Fynbo, J. P. U.; Heintz, K. E.; Lara-Lopez, M. A.; Vacca, V.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Shimwell, T. W.; Tasse, C.; Vazza, F.; Andernach, H.; Birkinshaw, M.; Haverkorn, M.; Horellou, C.; Williams, W. L.; Harwood, J. J.; Brunetti, G.; Anderson, J. M.; Mao, S. A.; Nikiel-Wroczynski, B.; Takahashi, K.; Carretti, E.; Vernstrom, T.; Weeren, R. J. van; Orru, E.; Morabito, L. K.; Callingham, J. R. (2018-10-09)
      Cosmological simulations predict that an intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) pervades the large scale structure (LSS) of the Universe. Measuring the IGMF is important to determine its origin (i.e. primordial or otherwise). ...

    • Low-frequency observations of the Giant Radio Galaxy NGC 6251 

      Cantwell, T. M.; Bray, J. D.; Croston, J. H.; Scaife, A. M. M.; Mulcahy, D. D.; Best, P. N.; Bruggen, M.; Brunetti, G.; Callingham, J. R.; Clarke, A. O.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Harwood, J. J.; Heald, G.; Heesen, V.; Iacobelli, M.; Jamrozy, M.; Morganti, R.; Orru, E.; O'Sullivan, S. P.; Riseley, C. J.; Rottgering, H. J. A.; Shulevski, A.; Sridhar, S. S.; Tasse, C.; Eck, C. L. Van (2020-06-01)
      We present LOFAR observations at 150 MHz of the borderline FRI/FRII giant radio galaxy NGC 6251. This paper presents the most sensitive and highest-resolution images of NGC 6251 at these frequencies to date, revealing for ...

    • Polarized point sources in the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey: A preliminary catalog 

      Eck, C. L. Van; Haverkorn, M.; Alves, M. I. R.; Beck, R.; Best, P.; Carretti, E.; Chyży, K. T.; Farnes, J. S.; Ferrière, K.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Heald, G.; Horellou, C.; Iacobelli, M.; Jelić, V.; Mulcahy, D. D.; O'Sullivan, S. P.; Polderman, I. M.; Reich, W.; Riseley, C. J.; Röttgering, H.; Schnitzeler, D. H. F. M.; Shimwell, T. W.; Vacca, V.; Vink, J.; White, G. J. (2018-06-01)
      The polarization properties of radio sources at very low frequencies (<200 MHz) have not been widely measured, but the new generation of low-frequency radio telescopes, including the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR: a Square ...

    • Untangling cosmic magnetic fields: Faraday tomography at metre wavelengths with LOFAR 

      O'Sullivan, Shane P.; Brüggen, M.; Eck, C. L. Van; Hardcastle, M. J.; Haverkorn, M.; Shimwell, T. W.; Tasse, C.; Vacca, V.; Horellou, C.; Heald, G. (2018-11-29)
      The technique of Faraday tomography is a key tool for the study ofmagnetised plasmas in the new era of broadband radio-polarisation observations. In particular, observations at metre wavelengths provide significantly better ...
