mm-jets in the multi-messenger era

Karri I. I. Koljonen, Thomas D. Russell, Britton Jeter +16

Jets and outflows operate across the full cosmic mass scale from young stellar objects (YSOs) and X-ray binaries (XRBs) to active galactic nuclei (AGN), gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), an…

Probing Merger Shocks in Galaxy Clusters in the SKA Era

Arpan Pal, Ruta Kale, Gabriella Di Gennaro +8

Galaxy cluster mergers represent the most energetic phenomena in the Universe since the Big Bang releasing gravitational potential energy of erg, injecting turbul…

Characterising the extended morphologies of BL Lacs at 144 MHz with LOFAR

Seán Mooney, Francesco Massaro, John Quinn +11

We present a morphological and spectral study of a sample of 99 BL Lacs using the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey Second Data Release (LDR2). Extended emission has been identified at gi…

LOFAR 144-MHz follow-up observations of GW170817

J. W. Broderick, T. W. Shimwell, K. Gourdji +66

We present low-radio-frequency follow-up observations of AT 2017gfo, the electromagnetic counterpart of GW170817, which was the first binary neutron star merger to be detected by A…

Cassiopeia A, Cygnus A, Taurus A, and Virgo A at ultra-low radio frequencies

F. de Gasperin, J. Vink, J. P. McKean +49

The four persistent radio sources in the northern sky with the highest flux density at metre wavelengths are Cassiopeia A, Cygnus A, Taurus A, and Virgo A; collectively they are ca…

The low-frequency radio emission in blazar PKS2155-304

M. Pandey-Pommier, S. Sirothia, P. Chadwick +8

We report radio imaging and monitoring observations in the frequency range 0.235 - 2.7 GHz during the flaring mode of PKS 2155-304, one of the brightest BL Lac objects. The high se…

A large light-mass component of cosmic rays at 10^{17} - 10^{17.5} eV from radio observations

S. Buitink, A. Corstanje, H. Falcke +101

Cosmic rays are the highest energy particles found in nature. Measurements of the mass composition of cosmic rays between 10^{17} eV and 10^{18} eV are essential to understand whet…

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…

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…

Probing Atmospheric Electric Fields in Thunderstorms through Radio Emission from Cosmic-Ray-Induced Air Showers

P. Schellart, T. N. G. Trinh, S. Buitink +71

We present measurements of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers that took place during thunderstorms. The intensity and polarization patterns of these air showers are radical…

The shape of the radio wavefront of extensive air showers as measured with LOFAR

A. Corstanje, P. Schellart, A. Nelles +78

Extensive air showers, induced by high energy cosmic rays impinging on the Earth's atmosphere, produce radio emission that is measured with the LOFAR radio telescope. As the emissi…

Synchronous X-ray and Radio Mode Switches: a Rapid Global Transformation of the Pulsar Magnetosphere

W. Hermsen, J. W. T. Hessels, L. Kuiper +8

Pulsars emit low-frequency radio waves through to high-energy gamma-rays that are generated anywhere from the surface out to the edges of the magnetosphere. Detecting correlated mo…

Wide-band Simultaneous Observations of Pulsars: Disentangling Dispersion Measure and Profile Variations

T. E. Hassall, B. W. Stappers, J. W. T. Hessels +91

Dispersion in the interstellar medium is a well known phenomenon that follows a simple relationship, which has been used to predict the time delay of dispersed radio pulses since t…

The radio counterpart of the likely TeV binary HESS J0632+057

J. L. Skilton, M. Pandey-Pommier, J. A. Hinton +9

The few known gamma-ray binary systems are all associated with variable radio and X-ray emission. The TeV source HESS J0632+057, apparently associated with the Be star MWC148, is p…
