First release of Apertif imaging survey data
Elizabeth A. K. Adams, B. Adebahr, W. J. G. de Blok +56
(Abridged) Apertif is a phased-array feed system for WSRT, providing forty instantaneous beams over 300 MHz of bandwidth. A dedicated survey program started on 1 July 2019, with th…
Apertif, Phased Array Feeds for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope
W. A. van Cappellen, T. A. Oosterloo, M. A. W. Verheijen +87
We describe the APERture Tile In Focus (Apertif) system, a phased array feed (PAF) upgrade of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope which has transformed this telescope into a h…
Broadband Meter-Wavelength Observations of Ionospheric Scintillation
R. A. Fallows, W. A. Coles, D. McKay +22
Intensity scintillations of cosmic radio sources are used to study astrophysical plasmas like the ionosphere, the solar wind, and the interstellar medium. Normally these observatio…
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 LOFAR Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS) I. Survey description and first results
G. H. Heald, R. F. Pizzo, E. Orrú +147
We present the Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS), the first northern-sky LOFAR imaging survey. In this introductory paper, we first describe in detail the motivation and de…
Discovery of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines in absorption towards Cygnus~A
J. B. R. Oonk, R. J. van Weeren, F. Salgado +100
We present the first detection of carbon radio recombination line absorption along the line of sight to Cygnus A. The observations were carried out with the LOw Frequency ARray in…
