The LOFAR Decametre Sky Survey (LoDeSS) I. Survey description and first data release
C. M. Cordun, C. Groeneveld, H. W. Edler +12
The decametre radio sky (- MHz) remains largely unexplored due to strong ionospheric distortions and severe radio-frequency interference. Despite its scientific potent…
Euclid: Quick Data Release (Q1) -- Optical hotspots in powerful radio galaxies
M. J. Hardcastle, L. Bisigello, M. Bondi +154
The hotspots of powerful radio galaxies are the sites of high-energy particle acceleration, but radio observations give us limited information on the electron energy distributions…
Radio Halos in Galaxy Clusters as unveiled by the SKA telescope
R. Cassano, G. Di Gennaro, V. Cuciti +24
Giant radio halos (RHs) are diffuse, Mpc-scale synchrotron sources observed in a growing fraction of galaxy clusters. They trace relativistic particles and magnetic fields in the i…
Galaxy clusters in the LoTSS-DR3: Catalogues and detection pipeline for diffuse radio emission
C. Stuardi, G. Di Gennaro, A. Botteon +19
The third data release of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey provides an unprecedented view of the northern sky at 144 MHz. While compact sources can be efficiently identified with aut…
Host galaxy identification of LOFAR sources in the Euclid Deep Field North
Bisigello L., Giulietti M., Prandoni I. +6
We present a catalogue of optical and near-infrared counterparts to radio sources detected in the Euclid Deep Field North (EDF-N) using observations from the LOw-Frequency ARray (L…
X-ray investigation of the remarkable galaxy group Nest200047
Anwesh Majumder, A. Simionescu, T. Plšek +11
Galaxy groups are more susceptible to feedback from the central active galactic nuclei (AGN) due to their lower gravitational binding energy compared to clusters. This makes them i…
A view of the CIZA J2242.8+5301 galaxy cluster at very low radio frequencies
G. Lusetti, M. Brüggen, H. W. Edler +9
The galaxy cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301 is a well-studied merging galaxy cluster that hosts prominent double radio relics including the famous sausage relic, as well as other diffuse…
Revealing the intricacies of radio galaxies and filaments in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 2255. I. Insights from deep LOFAR-VLBI sub-arcsecond resolution images
E. De Rubeis, M. Bondi, A. Botteon +7
High sensitivity of modern interferometers is revealing a plethora of filaments surrounding radio galaxies, especially in galaxy cluster environments. The morphology and spectral c…
Ultra-low frequency LOFAR spectral indices of cluster radio halos
T. Pasini, F. de Gasperin, M. Brüggen +11
A fraction of galaxy clusters harbor diffuse radio sources known as radio halos. The currently adopted scenario for their formation is based on second-order Fermi re-acceleration o…
Abell 0399-Abell 0401 radio bridge spectral index: the first multifrequency detection
G. V. Pignataro, A. Bonafede, G. Bernardi +12
Recent low-frequency radio observations at 140 MHz discovered a 3 Mpc-long bridge of diffuse emission connecting the galaxy clusters Abell 0399 and Abell 0401. We present follow-up…
First evidence of a connection between cluster-scale diffuse radio emission in cool-core galaxy clusters and sloshing features
N. Biava, A. Bonafede, F. Gastaldello +15
Radio observations of a few cool-core galaxy clusters have revealed the presence of diffuse emission on cluster scales, similar to what was found in merging clusters in the form of…
LOFAR HBA Observations of the Euclid Deep Field North (EDFN)

G. Di Gennaro, M. Brüggen, R. J. van Weeren +8
We present the peculiar case of PSZ2G091.83+26.11 at z=0.822. This cluster hosts a Mpc-scale radio halo and an elongated radio source, whose location with the respect to the intrac…
