Wide-field LOFAR imaging of the field around the double-double radio galaxy B1834+620: A fresh view on a restarted AGN and doubeltjes

E. Orrú, S. van Velzen, R. F. Pizzo +8

The existence of double-double radio galaxies (DDRGs) is evidence for recurrent jet activity in AGN, as expected from standard accretion models. A detailed study of these rare sour…

The noise properties of 42 millisecond pulsars from the European Pulsar Timing Array and their impact on gravitational wave searches

R. N. Caballero, K. J. Lee, L. Lentati +36

The sensitivity of Pulsar Timing Arrays to gravitational waves depends on the noise present in the individual pulsar timing data. Noise may be either intrinsic or extrinsic to the…
