Discovery of 24 radio-bright quasars at $4.9 \leq z \leq6.6$ using low-frequency radio observations
(2022-12-31)
High redshift quasars ($z>5$) that also shine brightly at radio wavelengths are unique signposts of supermassive black hole activity in the early universe. However, bright radio sources at $z\ge5$ are extremely rare and ...
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, ...
Sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope : I. Foundational calibration strategy and pipeline
(2022-02-28)
The International LOFAR Telescope is an interferometer with stations spread across Europe. With baselines of up to ∼2000 km, LOFAR has the unique capability of achieving sub-arcsecond resolution at frequencies below 200 ...
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 ...
MIGHTEE: total intensity radio continuum imaging and the COSMOS / XMM-LSS Early Science fields
(2021-10-21)
MIGHTEE is a galaxy evolution survey using simultaneous radio continuum, spectro-polarimetry, and spectral line observations from the South African MeerKAT telescope. When complete, the survey will image $\sim$20 deg$^{2}$ ...
The population of M dwarfs observed at low radio frequencies
(2021-10-11)
Coherent low-frequency (≲200 MHz) radio emission from stars encodes the conditions of the outer corona, mass-ejection events and space weather 1–5. Previous low-frequency searches for radio-emitting stellar systems have ...
Low-frequency radio spectra of submillimetre galaxies in the Lockman Hole
(2021-04-19)
We investigate the radio properties of a sample of 53 sources selected at 850 $\mu$m from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey using new deep, low-frequency radio imaging of the Lockman Hole field from the Low Frequency ...
