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…

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…

Magnetic fields and cosmic rays in M 31. I. Spectral indices, scale lengths, Faraday rotation, and magnetic field pattern

R. Beck, E. M. Berkhuijsen, R. Gießübel +1

Three deep radio continuum surveys of the Andromeda galaxy, M 31, were performed at 11.3, 6.2, and 3.6 cm wavelength with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. At all wavelengths, the to…

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…

Reliable detection and characterization of low-frequency polarized sources in the LOFAR M51 field

A. Neld, C. Horellou, D. D. Mulcahy +14

The new generation of broad-band radio continuum surveys will provide large data sets with polarization information. New algorithms need to be developed to extract reliable catalog…

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…
