The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey -- V. Second data release
T. W. Shimwell, M. J. Hardcastle, C. Tasse +103
In this data release from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) we present 120-168MHz images covering 27% of the northern sky. Our coverage is split into two regions centred at ap…
The LOFAR LBA Sky Survey II. First data release
F. de Gasperin, H. W. Edler, W. L. Williams +27
The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is the only existing radio interferometer able to observe at ultra-low frequencies (<100 MHz) with high resolution (<15") and high sensitivity (<1 m…
The LOFAR LBA Sky Survey I. survey description and preliminary data release
F. de Gasperin, W. L. Williams, P. Best +38
LOFAR is the only radio telescope that is presently capable of high-sensitivity, high-resolution (<1 mJy/b and <15") observations at ultra-low frequencies (<100 MHz). To utilise th…
Reaching thermal noise at ultra-low radio frequencies: the Toothbrush radio relic downstream of the shock front
F. de Gasperin, G. Brunetti, M. Bruggen +14
Ultra-low frequency observations (<100 MHz) are particularly challenging because they are usually performed in a low signal-to-noise ratio regime due to the high sky temperature an…
A high resolution foreground model for the MWA EoR1 field: model and implications for EoR power spectrum analysis
P. Procopio, R. B. Wayth, J. Line +23
The current generation of experiments aiming to detect the neutral hydrogen signal from the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) is likely to be limited by systematic effects associated wit…
M87 at metre wavelengths: the LOFAR picture
F. de Gasperin, E. Orru', M. Murgia +92
M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy located in the centre of the Virgo cluster, which harbours a supermassive black hole of mass 6.4x10^9 M_sun, whose activity is responsible for the…
