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…

Spectral study of the diffuse synchrotron source in the galaxy cluster Abell 523

Valentina Vacca, Timothy Shimwell, Richard A. Perley +26

The galaxy cluster Abell 523 (A523) hosts an extended diffuse synchrotron source historically classified as a radio halo. Its radio power at 1.4 GHz makes it one of the most signif…

Physical insights from the spectrum of the radio halo in MACS J0717.5+3745

K. Rajpurohit, G. Brunetti, A. Bonafede +18

We present new LOFAR observations of the massive merging galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745. The cluster hosts the most powerful radio halo known to date. These new observations, in…
