    • Blazars in the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey First Data Release 

      Mooney, S.; Quinn, J.; Callingham, J. R.; Morganti, R.; Duncan, K.; Morabito, Leah K.; Best, P. N.; Gürkan, G.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Prandoni, I.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Sabater, J.; Shimwell, T. W.; Shulevski, A.; Tasse, C.; Williams, W. L. (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 ...

    • LOFAR first look at the giant radio galaxy 3C 236 

      Shulevski, A.; Barthel, P. D.; Morganti, R.; Harwood, J. J.; Brienza, M.; Shimwell, T. W.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; White, G. J.; Callingham, J. R.; Mooney, S.; Rafferty, D. A. (2019-07-28)
      We have examined the giant radio galaxy 3C~236 using LOFAR at 143 MHz down to an angular resolution of 7", in combination with observations at higher frequencies. We have used the low frequency data to derive spectral index ...

    • The LoTSS view of radio AGN in the local Universe. The most massive galaxies are always switched on 

      Sabater, J.; Best, P.N.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Shimwell, T. W.; Tasse, C.; Williams, W. L.; Brüggen, M.; Cochrane, R. K.; Croston, J. H.; Gasperin, F. de; Duncan, K. J.; Gürkan, G.; Mechev, A. P.; Morabito, Leah K.; Prandoni, I.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Smith, D. J. B.; Harwood, J. J.; Mingo, B.; Mooney, S.; Saxena, A. (2018-11-15)
      This paper presents a study of the local radio source population, by cross-comparing the data from the first data release (DR1) of the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7 main ...

    • Radio-loud AGN in the first LoTSS data release: The lifetimes and environmental impact of jet-driven sources 

      Hardcastle, M. J.; Williams, W. L.; Best, P. N.; Croston, J. H.; Duncan, K. J.; Rottgering, H. J. A.; Sabater, J.; Shimwell, T. W.; Tasse, C.; Callingham, J. R.; Cochrane, R. K.; Gasperin, F. de; Gurkan, G.; Jarvis, M. J.; Mahatma, V.; Miley, G. K.; Mingo, B.; Mooney, S.; Morabito, L. K.; O'Sullivan, S. P.; Prandoni, I.; Shulevski, A.; Smith, D. J. B. (2018-11-19)
      We constructed a sample of 23,344 radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN) from the catalogue derived from the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) survey of the HETDEX Spring field. Although separating AGN from star-forming ...

    • Revisiting the Fanaroff-Riley dichotomy and radio-galaxy morphology with the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) 

      Mingo, B.; Croston, J. H.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Best, P. N.; Duncan, K. J.; Morganti, R.; Rottgering, H. J. A.; Sabater, J.; Shimwell, T. W.; Williams, W. L.; Brienza, M.; Gurkan, G.; Mahatma, V. H.; Morabito, L. K.; Prandoni, I.; Bondi, M.; Ineson, J.; Mooney, S. (2019-09-01)
      The relative positions of the high and low surface brightness regions of radio-loud active galaxies in the 3CR sample were found by Fanaroff and Riley to be correlated with their luminosity. We revisit this canonical ...

    • Sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope : I. Foundational calibration strategy and pipeline 

      Morabito, L. K.; Jackson, N. J.; Mooney, S.; Sweijen, F.; Badole, S.; Kukreti, P.; Venkattu, D.; Groeneveld, C.; Kappes, A.; Bonnassieux, E.; Drabent, A.; Iacobelli, M.; Croston, J. H.; Best, P. N.; Bondi, M.; Callingham, J. R.; Conway, J. E.; Deller, A. T.; Hardcastle, M. J.; McKean, J. P.; Miley, G. K.; Moldon, J.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Tasse, C.; Shimwell, T. W.; Weeren, R.

J.; Wucknitz, O.; Zarka, P.; Zucca, P. (2022-02-28)
      The International LOFAR Telescope is an interferometer with stations spread across Europe. With baselines of up to ∼2000 km, LOFAR has the unique capability of achieving sub-arcsecond resolution at frequencies below 200 ...

    • The origin of radio emission in broad absorption line quasars: Results from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey 

      Morabito, L. K.; Matthews, J. H.; Best, P. N.; Gürkan, G.; Jarvis, M. J.; Prandoni, I.; Duncan, K. J.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Kunert-Bajraszewska, M.; Mechev, A. P.; Mooney, S.; Sabater, J.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Shimwell, T. W.; Smith, D. J. B.; Tasse, C.; Williams, W. L. (2018-08-16)
