The LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey : VI. Optical identifications for the second data release
(2023-10-01)
The second data release of the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) covers 27% of the northern sky, with a total area of ∼5700 deg1. The high angular resolution of LOFAR with Dutch baselines (6 arcsec) allows us to carry out ...
The Planck clusters in the LOFAR sky. I. LoTSS-DR2 new detections and sample overview
(2022-04-30)
Context. Relativistic electrons and magnetic fields permeate the intra-cluster medium (ICM) and manifest themselves as diffuse sources of synchrotron emission observable at radio wavelengths, namely radio halos and radio ...
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 ...
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 ...
Revived Fossil Plasma Sources in Galaxy Clusters
(2020-01-28)
It is well established that particle acceleration by shocks and turbulence in the intra-cluster medium can produce cluster-scale synchrotron emitting sources. However, the detailed physics of these particle acceleration ...
