The Faraday Rotation Measure Grid of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: Data Release 2
(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 ...
Sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope : I. Foundational calibration strategy and pipeline
(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 LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey -- V. Second data release
(2022-02-25)
In this data release from the ongoing LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey we present 120a 168 MHz images covering 27% of the northern sky. Our coverage is split into two regions centred at approximately 12h45m ...
The LOFAR LBA Sky Survey: Deep Fields I. The Boötes Field
(2021-11-10)
We present the first sub-mJy ($\approx0.7$ mJy beam$^{-1}$) survey to be completed below 100 MHz, which is over an order of magnitude deeper than previously achieved for widefield imaging of any field at these low frequencies. ...
A snapshot of the oldest AGN feedback phases
(2021-10-18)
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) inject large amounts of energy into their host galaxies and surrounding environment, shaping their properties and evolution. In particular, AGN jets inflate cosmic-ray lobes, which can rise ...
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: Deep Fields: : II. The ELAIS-N1 LOFAR deep field
(2021-04-07)
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) will cover the full northern sky and, additionally, aims to observe the LoTSS deep fields to a noise level of ~10 microJy/bm over several tens of square degrees in areas that have the ...
LOFAR Deep Fields : Probing a broader population of polarized radio galaxies in ELAIS-N1
(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 ...
The LOFAR Two Metre Sky Survey: Deep Fields Data Release 1. III. Host-galaxy identifications and value added catalogues
(2021-04-07)
We present the source associations, cross-identifications, and multi-wavelength properties of the faint radio source population detected in the deep tier of the LOFAR Two Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS): the LoTSS Deep Fields. ...
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 ...
A population of galaxy-scale jets discovered using LOFAR
(2020-11-05)
The effects of feedback from high luminosity radio-loud AGN have been extensively discussed in the literature, but feedback from low-luminosity radio-loud AGN is less well understood. The advent of high sensitivity, high ...
