The discovery of lensed radio and X-ray sources behind the Frontier Fields cluster MACS J0717.5+3745 with the JVLA and Chandra

R. J. van Weeren, G. A. Ogrean, C. Jones +24

We report on high-resolution JVLA and Chandra observations of the HST Frontier Cluster MACS J0717.5+3745. MACS J0717.5+3745 offers the largest contiguous magnified area of any know…

LOFAR MSSS: Detection of a low-frequency radio transient in 400 hrs of monitoring of the North Celestial Pole

A. J. Stewart, R. P. Fender, J. W. Broderick +99

We present the results of a four-month campaign searching for low-frequency radio transients near the North Celestial Pole with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), as part of the Mult…

Imaging Jupiter's radiation belts down to 127 MHz with LOFAR

J. N. Girard, P. Zarka, C. Tasse +71

Context. Observing Jupiter's synchrotron emission from the Earth remains today the sole method to scrutinize the distribution and dynamical behavior of the ultra energetic electron…

Wide-Band, Low-Frequency Pulse Profiles of 100 Radio Pulsars with LOFAR

M. Pilia, J. W. T. Hessels, B. W. Stappers +84

LOFAR offers the unique capability of observing pulsars across the 10-240 MHz frequency range with a fractional bandwidth of roughly 50%. This spectral range is well-suited for stu…

The widest-frequency radio relic spectra: observations from 150 MHz to 30 GHz

Andra Stroe, Timothy Shimwell, Clare Rumsey +9

Radio relics are patches of diffuse synchrotron radio emission that trace shock waves. Relics are thought to form when intra-cluster medium electrons are accelerated by cluster mer…
