Discovery of 24 radio-bright quasars at $4.9 \leq z \leq6.6$ using low-frequency radio observations
(2022-12-31)
High redshift quasars ($z>5$) that also shine brightly at radio wavelengths are unique signposts of supermassive black hole activity in the early universe. However, bright radio sources at $z\ge5$ are extremely rare and ...
Nearby galaxies in the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey : I. Insights into the non-linearity of the radio–SFR relation
(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 ...
Cosmic evolution of low-excitation radio galaxies in the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey Deep Fields
(2022-04-26)
Feedback from low-excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) plays a key role in the lifecycle of massive galaxies in the local Universe; their evolution, and the impact of these active galactic nuclei on early galaxy evolution, ...
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 ...
Radio AGN in nearby dwarf galaxies: the important role of AGN in dwarf-galaxy evolution
(2022-02-04)
We combine deep optical and radio data, from the Hyper Suprime-Cam and the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) respectively, to study 78 radio AGN in nearby (z < 0.5) dwarf galaxies. Comparison to a control sample, matched in ...
Low frequency radio properties of the $z>5$ quasar population
(2021-12-31)
Optically luminous quasars at z > 5 are important probes of super-massive black hole (SMBH) formation. With new and future radio facilities, the discovery of the brightest low-frequency radio sources in this epoch would ...
Low-frequency radio spectra of submillimetre galaxies in the Lockman Hole
(2021-04-19)
We investigate the radio properties of a sample of 53 sources selected at 850 $\mu$m from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey using new deep, low-frequency radio imaging of the Lockman Hole field from the Low Frequency ...
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 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 ...
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. ...
