Extragalactic Peaked-Spectrum Radio Sources at Low-Frequencies are Young Radio Galaxies
(2022-12-20)
We present a sample of 373 peaked-spectrum (PS) sources with spectral peaks around 150 MHz, selected using a subset of the two LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) all-sky surveys, the LOFAR Two Meter Sky Survey and the LOFAR LBA ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Application of Ridgelines in Extended Radio Source Cross-Identification
(2021-10-22)
Extended radio sources are an important minority population in modern deep radio surveys, because they enable detailed investigation of the physics governing radio-emitting regions such as active galaxies and their ...
Link between radio-loud AGNs and host-galaxy shape
(2020-10-15)
The morphology of quiescent galaxies has been found to be correlated with the activity of their central super massive black hole. In this work, we use data from the first data release of the LOFAR Two$-$Metre Sky Survey ...
Alignment in the orientation of LOFAR radio sources
(2020-08-25)
Various studies have laid claim to finding an alignment of the polarization vectors or radio jets of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over large distances, but these results have proven controversial and so far, there is no ...
