• #### The best of both worlds : Combining LOFAR and Apertif to derive resolved radio spectral index images ﻿

(2021-04-07)
Supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies can cycle through periods of activity and quiescence. Characterising the duty cycle of active galactic nuclei is crucial for understanding the impact of the energy they ...
• #### Blazars in the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey First Data Release ﻿

(2018-11-19)
Historically, the blazar population has been poorly understood at low frequencies because survey sensitivity and angular resolution limitations have made it difficult to identify megahertz counterparts. We used the LOFAR ...
• #### The bright end of the infrared luminosity functions and the abundance of hyperluminous infrared galaxies ﻿

(2021-04-07)
We provide the most accurate estimate yet of the bright end of the infrared (IR) luminosity functions (LFs) and the abundance of hyperluminous IR galaxies (HLIRGs) with IR luminosities > 10^13 L_solar, thanks to the ...
• #### The contribution of discrete sources to the sky temperature at 144 MHz ﻿

(2021-04-07)
In recent years, the level of the extragalactic radio background has become a point of considerable interest, with some lines of argument pointing to an entirely new cosmological synchrotron background. The contribution ...
• #### The e-MERLIN Galaxy Evolution Survey (e-MERGE) : Overview and Survey Description ﻿

(2020-05-08)
We present an overview and description of the eMERLIN Galaxy Evolution survey (eMERGE) Data Release 1 (DR1), a large program of high-resolution 1.5 GHz radio observations of the GOODS-N field comprising $\sim140$ hours of ...
• #### EMU : Evolutionary Map of the Universe ﻿

(2011)
EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope. The primary goal of EMU is to make a deep (rms ~ 10 microJy/beam) radio continuum survey of the ...
• #### The environments of radio-loud AGN from the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) ﻿

(2018-10-10)
An understanding of the relationship between radio-loud active galaxies and their large-scale environments is essential for realistic modelling of radio-galaxy evolution and environmental impact, for understanding AGN ...
• #### The Far-Infrared Radio Correlation at low radio frequency with LOFAR/H-ATLAS ﻿

(2018-11-11)
The radio and far-infrared luminosities of star-forming galaxies are tightly correlated over several orders of magnitude; this is known as the far-infrared radio correlation (FIRC). Previous studies have shown that a host ...
• #### Investigating the Unification of LOFAR-detected powerful AGN in the Boötes Field ﻿

(2017-08-01)
Low radio frequency surveys are important for testing unified models of radio-loud quasars and radio galaxies. Intrinsically similar sources that are randomly oriented on the sky will have different projected linear sizes. ...
• #### The life cycle of radio galaxies in the LOFAR Lockman Hole field ﻿

(2020-06-08)
Radio galaxies are known to go through cycles of activity, where phases of apparent quiescence can be followed by repeated activity of the central supermassive black hole. A better understanding of this cycle is crucial ...

(2020-10-15)
The morphology of quiescent galaxies has been found to be correlated with the activity of their central super massive black hole. In this work, we use data from the first data release of the LOFAR Two$-$Metre Sky Survey ...
• #### The Lockman Hole project : LOFAR observations and spectral index properties of low-frequency radio sources ﻿

(2016-12-11)
The Lockman Hole is a well-studied extragalactic field with extensive multi-band ancillary data covering a wide range in frequency, essential for characterising the physical and evolutionary properties of the various source ...
• #### LOFAR 150-MHz observations of the Boötes field: Catalogue and Source Counts ﻿

(2016-08-11)
We present the first wide area (19 deg$^2$), deep ($\approx120-150$ {\mu}Jy beam$^{-1}$), high resolution ($5.6 \times 7.4$ arcsec) LOFAR High Band Antenna image of the Bo\"otes field made at 130-169 MHz. This image is at ...
• #### LOFAR Deep Fields : Probing a broader population of polarized radio galaxies in ELAIS-N1 ﻿
