LOFAR 150-MHz observations of the Boötes field: Catalogue and Source Counts
(2016-08-11)
We present the first wide area (19 deg$^2$), deep ($\approx120-150$ {\mu}Jy beam$^{-1}$), high resolution ($5.6 \times 7.4$ arcsec) LOFAR High Band Antenna image of the Bo\"otes field made at 130-169 MHz. This image is at ...
A plethora of diffuse steep spectrum radio sources in Abell 2034 revealed by LOFAR
(2016-06-11)
With Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) observations, we have discovered a diverse assembly of steep spectrum emission that is apparently associated with the intra cluster medium (ICM) of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 2034. ...
LOFAR facet calibration
(2016-03-07)
LOFAR, the Low-Frequency Array, is a powerful new radio telescope operating between 10 and 240 MHz. LOFAR allows detailed sensitive high-resolution studies of the low-frequency radio sky. At the same time LOFAR also provides ...
LOFAR, VLA, and Chandra observations of the Toothbrush galaxy cluster
(2016-02-22)
We present deep LOFAR observations between 120-181 MHz of the "Toothbrush" (RX J0603.3+4214), a cluster that contains one of the brightest radio relic sources known. Our LOFAR observations exploit a new and novel calibration ...
The LOFAR Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS) : I. Survey description and first results
(2015-10-01)
We present the Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS), the first northern-sky Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) imaging survey. In this introductory paper, we first describe in detail the motivation and design of the survey. ...
