Exploring the properties of low-frequency radio emission and magnetic fields in a sample of compact galaxy groups using the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS)

B. Nikiel-Wroczyński, A. Berger, N. Herrera Ruiz +14

We use the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) Data Release I to identify the groups of galaxies (and individual galaxies) from the Hickson Compact Groups and Magnitude Limited Comp…

Calibrating the relation of low-frequency radio continuum to star formation rate at 1 kpc scale with LOFAR

V. Heesen, E. Buie, C. J. Huff +16

Radio continuum (RC) emission in galaxies allows us to measure star formation rates (SFRs) unaffected by extinction due to dust, of which the low-frequency part is uncontaminated f…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey - II. First data release

T. W. Shimwell, C. Tasse, M. J. Hardcastle +104

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is an ongoing sensitive, high-resolution 120-168MHz survey of the entire northern sky for which observations are now 20% complete. We present…

LOFAR MSSS: Flattening low-frequency radio continuum spectra of nearby galaxies

K. T. Chyży, W. Jurusik, J. Piotrowska +35

The shape of low-frequency radio continuum spectra of normal galaxies is not well understood, the key question being the role of physical processes such as thermal absorption in sh…

Investigation of the cosmic ray population and magnetic field strength in the halo of NGC 891

D. D. Mulcahy, A. Horneffer, R. Beck +24

Low-frequency radio continuum observations of edge-on galaxies are ideal to study cosmic-ray electrons (CREs) in halos via radio synchrotron emission and to measure magnetic field…

Exploring the making of a galactic wind in the star-bursting dwarf irregular galaxy IC 10 with LOFAR

V. Heesen, D. A. Rafferty, A. Horneffer +16

Low-mass galaxies are subject to strong galactic outflows, in which cosmic rays may play an important role, they can be best traced with low-frequency radio continuum observations,…
