SN 1885A and supernova remnants in the centre of M31 with LOFAR

Deepika Venkattu, Peter Lundqvist, Miguel Pérez Torres +4

We present the first LOFAR image of the centre of M31 at a frequency of 150 MHz. We clearly detect three supernova remnants, which, along with archival VLA data at 3 GHz and other…

Subarcsecond view on the high-redshift blazar GB 1508+5714 by the International LOFAR Telescope

A. Kappes, P. R. Burd, M. Kadler +14

Studies of the most distant AGNs allow us to test our current understanding of the physics present in radio-jetted AGNs across a range of environments. The decrease in apparent lum…

The Coma cluster at LOFAR frequencies II: the halo, relic, and a new accretion relic

A. Bonafede, G. Brunetti, L. Rudnick +26

We present LOw Frequency ARray observations of the Coma cluster field at 144\,MHz. The cluster hosts one of the most famous radio halos, a relic, and a low surface-brightness bridg…

A MeerKAT-meets-LOFAR Study of MS 1455.0+2232: A 590 kiloparsec 'Mini'-Halo in a Sloshing Cool-Core Cluster

C. J. Riseley, K. Rajpurohit, F. Loi +13

Radio mini-haloes are poorly-understood, moderately-extended diffuse radio sources that trace the presence of magnetic fields and relativistic electrons on scales of hundreds of ki…

Constraining the AGN duty cycle in the cool-core cluster MS 0735.6+7421 with LOFAR data

Nadia Biava, Marisa Brienza, Annalisa Bonafede +6

MS 0735.6+7421 is a galaxy cluster which hosts a central radio galaxy with a very steep spectrum, produced by one of the most powerful known jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN). Th…

New mysteries and challenges from the Toothbrush relic: wideband observations from 550 MHz to 8 GHz

K. Rajpurohit, M. Hoeft, F. Vazza +10

Radio relics are diffuse extended synchrotron sources that originate from shock fronts induced by galaxy cluster mergers. The actual particle acceleration mechanism at the shock fr…
