Combining LOFAR and Apertif Data for Understanding the Life Cycle of Radio Galaxies
Raffaella Morganti, Nika Jurlin, Tom Oosterloo +10
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the centres of galaxies can cycle between periods of activity and of quiescence. Characterising the duty-cycle of AGN is crucial for understanding t…
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…
Extreme intra-hour variability of the radio source J1402+5347 discovered with Apertif
T. A. Oosterloo, H. K. Vedantham, A. M. Kutkin +27
The propagation of radio waves from distant compact radio sources through turbulent interstellar plasma in our Galaxy causes these sources to twinkle, a phenomenon called interstel…
Low-frequency observations of the Giant Radio Galaxy NGC 6251
T. M. Cantwell, J. D. Bray, J. H. Croston +22
We present LOFAR observations at 150 MHz of the borderline FRI/FRII giant radio galaxy NGC 6251. This paper presents the most sensitive and highest-resolution images of NGC 6251 at…
A radio ridge connecting two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web
F. Govoni, E. Orrù, A. Bonafede +26
Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. They grow by accreting smaller structures in a merging process that produces shocks and turbu…
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…
