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…

Investigating ionospheric calibration for LOFAR 2.0 with simulated observations

H. W. Edler, F. de Gasperin, D. Rafferty

A number of hardware upgrades for the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) are currently under development. These upgrades are collectively referred to as the LOFAR 2.0 upgrade. The first s…

LOFAR imaging of Cygnus A -- Direct detection of a turnover in the hotspot radio spectra

J. P. McKean, L. E. H. Godfrey, S. Vegetti +75

The low-frequency radio spectra of the hotspots within powerful radio galaxies can provide valuable information about the physical processes operating at the site of the jet termin…

Reaching thermal noise at ultra-low radio frequencies: the Toothbrush radio relic downstream of the shock front

F. de Gasperin, G. Brunetti, M. Bruggen +14

Ultra-low frequency observations (<100 MHz) are particularly challenging because they are usually performed in a low signal-to-noise ratio regime due to the high sky temperature an…

LOFAR Observations of X-ray Cavity Systems

L. Bîrzan, D. A. Rafferty, M. Brüggen +8

We present LOFAR observations at 120-168 MHz of 42 systems with possible X-ray cavities in their hot atmosphere, of which 17 are groups or ellipticals, 19 are nearby clusters (z<0.…

LOFAR first look at the giant radio galaxy 3C 236

A. Shulevski, P. D. Barthel, R. Morganti +8

We have examined the giant radio galaxy 3C~236 using LOFAR at 143 MHz down to an angular resolution of 7", in combination with observations at higher frequencies. We have used the…
