The XXL Survey: XXXIV. Double irony in XXL-North. A tale of two radio galaxies in a supercluster at z = 0.14

C. Horellou, H. T. Intema, V. Smolčić +21

We show how the XXL multiwavelength survey can be used to shed light on radio galaxies and their environment. Two prominent radio galaxies were identified in a visual examination o…

LOFAR discovery of radio emission in MACSJ0717.53745

A. Bonafede, M. Brüggen, D. Rafferty +16

We present results from LOFAR and GMRT observations of the galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.53745. The cluster is undergoing a violent merger involving at least four sub-clusters, a…

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…

LOFAR detections of low-frequency radio recombination lines towards Cassiopeia A

Ashish Asgekar, J. B. R. Oonk, S. Yatawatta +89

Cassiopeia A was observed using the Low-Band Antennas of the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) with high spectral resolution. This allowed a search for radio recombination lines (RRLs) a…

M87 at metre wavelengths: the LOFAR picture

F. de Gasperin, E. Orru', M. Murgia +92

M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy located in the centre of the Virgo cluster, which harbours a supermassive black hole of mass 6.4x10^9 M_sun, whose activity is responsible for the…
