The LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey : VI. Optical identifications for the second data release
(2023-10-01)
The second data release of the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) covers 27% of the northern sky, with a total area of ∼5700 deg1. The high angular resolution of LOFAR with Dutch baselines (6 arcsec) allows us to carry out ...
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: the radio view of the cosmic star formation history
(2023-08-01)
We present a detailed study of the cosmic star formation history over 90 per cent of cosmic time (0 ≲ z ≲ 4), using deep, radio continuum observations that probe star formation activity independent of dust. The Low Frequency ...
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields Data Release 1 V. Survey description, source classifications and host galaxy properties
(2023-08-01)
Source classifications, stellar masses, and star-formation rates are presented for ≈80 000 radio sources from the first data release of the Low Frequency Array Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) Deep Fields, which represents the ...
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, ...
Accretion mode versus radio morphology in the LOFAR Deep Fields
(2022-02-16)
Radio-loud active galaxies have two accretion modes [radiatively inefficient (RI) and radiatively efficient (RE)], with distinct optical and infrared signatures, and two jet dynamical behaviours, which in arcsec- to ...
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 LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep fields: : The star formation rate - radio luminosity relation at low frequencies
(2021-04-07)
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between 150 MHz luminosity and the star-formation rate - the SFR-L150 MHz relation - using 150 MHz measurements for a near-infrared selected sample of 118 517 z < 1 galaxies. ...
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields: Data release 1. IV. Photometric redshifts and stellar masses
(2021-04-07)
The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is a sensitive, high-resolution 120-168 MHz survey split across multiple tiers over the northern sky. The first LoTSS Deep Fields data release consists of deep ...
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 ...
A LOFAR-IRAS cross-match study : the far-infrared radio correlation and the 150-MHz luminosity as a star-formation rate
(2019-11-01)
Aims. We aim to study the far-infrared radio correlation (FIRC) at 150 MHz in the local Universe (at a median redshift z~0:05) and improve the use of the rest-frame 150-MHz luminosity, L150, as a star-formation rate (SFR) ...
