The beautiful mess in Abell 2255
(2020-07-07)
We present LOFAR observations of one of the most spectacular objects in the radio sky: Abell 2255. This is a nearby ($z = 0.0806$) merging galaxy cluster hosting one of the first radio halos ever detected in the intra-cluster ...
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 ...
LOFAR 144-MHz follow-up observations of GW170817
(2020-06-01)
We present low-radio-frequency follow-up observations of AT 2017gfo, the electromagnetic counterpart of GW170817, which was the first binary neutron star merger to be detected by Advanced LIGO-Virgo. These data, with a ...
Coherent radio emission from a quiescent red dwarf indicative of star-planet interaction
(2020-02-17)
Low-frequency (ν ≲ 150 MHz) stellar radio emission is expected to originate in the outer corona at heights comparable to and larger than the stellar radius. Such emission from the Sun has been used to study coronal structure, ...
