The intergalactic magnetic field probed by a giant radio galaxy
(2018-10-09)
Cosmological simulations predict that an intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) pervades the large scale structure (LSS) of the Universe. Measuring the IGMF is important to determine its origin (i.e. primordial or otherwise). ...
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey - II. First data release
(2018-09-12)
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is an ongoing sensitive, high-resolution 120-168MHz survey of the entire northern sky for which observations are now 20% complete. We present our first full-quality public data release. ...
The origin of radio emission in broad absorption line quasars: Results from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey
(2018-08-16)
We present a study of the low-frequency radio properties of broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky-Survey Data Release 1 (LDR1). The value-added LDR1 catalogue contains Pan-STARRS counterparts, ...
Investigating the Unification of LOFAR-detected powerful AGN in the Boötes Field
(2017-08-01)
Low radio frequency surveys are important for testing unified models of radio-loud quasars and radio galaxies. Intrinsically similar sources that are randomly oriented on the sky will have different projected linear sizes. ...
The Lockman Hole project : LOFAR observations and spectral index properties of low-frequency radio sources
(2016-12-11)
The Lockman Hole is a well-studied extragalactic field with extensive multi-band ancillary data covering a wide range in frequency, essential for characterising the physical and evolutionary properties of the various source ...
LOFAR/H-ATLAS: A deep low-frequency survey of the Herschel-ATLAS North Galactic Pole field
(2016-10-21)
We present LOFAR High-Band Array (HBA) observations of the Herschel-ATLAS North Galactic Pole survey area. The survey we have carried out, consisting of four pointings covering around 142 square degrees of sky in the ...
The WEAVE-LOFAR Survey
(Societe Francaise d'Astronomie et d'Astrophysique, 2016-10-14)
In these proceedings we highlight the primary scientific goals and design of the WEAVE-LOFAR survey, which will use the new WEAVE spectrograph on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope to provide the primary source of ...
Radio-AGN Feedback : When the Little Ones were Monsters
(2015-06-21)
We present a study of the evolution of the fraction of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) as a function of their host stellar mass. We make use of two samples of radio galaxies: one in the local universe, $0.01 10^{24}$ ...
