    • The great Kite in the sky: a LOFAR observation of the radio source in Abell 2626 

      Ignesti, A.; Shimwell, T.; Brunetti, G.; Gitti, M.; Intema, H.; Weeren, R. J. van; Hardcastle, M. J.; Clarke, A. O.; Botteon, A.; Gennaro, G. Di; Brüggen, M.; Browne, I.; Mandal, S.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Cuciti, V.; Gasperin, F. de; Cassano, R.; Scaife, Anna M.M. (2020-09-29)
      The radio source at the center of the galaxy cluster Abell 2626, also known as the Kite, stands out for its unique morphology composed of four, symmetric arcs. Previous studies have probed the properties of this source at ...
    • The Planck clusters in the LOFAR sky. I. LoTSS-DR2 new detections and sample overview 

      Botteon, A.; Shimwell, T. W.; Cassano, R.; Cuciti, V.; Zhang, X.; Bruno, L.; Camillini, L.; Natale, R.; Jones, A.; Gastaldello, F.; Simionescu, A.; Rossetti, M.; Akamatsu, H.; Weeren, R. J. van; Brunetti, G.; Brüggen, M.; Groenveld, C.; Hoang, D. N.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Ignesti, A.; Gennaro, G. Di; Bonafede, A.; Drabent, A.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Hoeft, M.; Gasperin, F. de (2022-04-30)
      Context. Relativistic electrons and magnetic fields permeate the intra-cluster medium (ICM) and manifest themselves as diffuse sources of synchrotron emission observable at radio wavelengths, namely radio halos and radio ...
    • VICTORIA project: The LOFAR HBA Virgo Cluster Survey 

      Edler, H. W.; Gasperin, F. de; Shimwell, T. W.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Boselli, A.; Heesen, V.; McCall, H.; Bomans, D. J.; Brüggen, M.; Bulbul, E.; Chŷzy, K. T.; Ignesti, A.; Merloni, A.; Pacaud, F.; Reiprich, T. H.; Roberts, I. D.; Rottgering, H. J. A.; Weeren, R. J. van (2023-06-02)
      Context. The Virgo cluster is the nearest (d = 16.5 Mpc) massive (M ≥ 1014 M⊙) galaxy cluster and is therefore a prime target for studying astrophysical processes in dense large-scale environments. In the radio band, we ...
