Abell 1033: birth of a radio phoenix

F. de Gasperin, G. A. Ogrean, R. J. van Weeren +4

Extended steep-spectrum radio emission in a galaxy cluster is usually associated with a recent merger. However, given the complex scenario of galaxy cluster mergers, many of the di…

Diffuse radio emission in the complex merging galaxy cluster Abell 2069

A. Drabent, M. Hoeft, R. F. Pizzo +3

Galaxy clusters with signs for a recent merger show in many cases extended diffuse radio features. This emission originates from relativistic electrons which suffer synchrotron los…

The rise and fall of star-formation in merging galaxy clusters

Andra Stroe, David Sobral, William Dawson +6

CIZA J2242.8+5301 (`Sausage') and 1RXS J0603.3+4213 (`Toothbrush') are two low-redshift (), massive (), post-core passage merging clusters, whi…

Measuring a Cherenkov ring in the radio emission from air showers at 110-190 MHz with LOFAR

A. Nelles, P. Schellart, S. Buitink +66

Measuring radio emission from air showers offers a novel way to determine properties of the primary cosmic rays such as their mass and energy. Theory predicts that relativistic tim…

The LOFAR long baseline snapshot calibrator survey

J. Moldón, A. T. Deller, O. Wucknitz +82

Aims. An efficient means of locating calibrator sources for International LOFAR is developed and used to determine the average density of usable calibrator sources on the sky for s…

Discovery of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines in M82

Leah K. Morabito, J. B. R. Oonk, Francisco Salgado +30

Carbon radio recombination lines (RRLs) at low frequencies (<=500 MHz) trace the cold, diffuse phase of the interstellar medium, which is otherwise difficult to observe. We present…
