Spectral indices in active galactic nuclei as seen by Apertif and LOFAR

A. M. Kutkin, R. Morganti, T. A. Oosterloo +5

We present two new radio continuum images obtained with Apertif at 1.4 GHz. The images, produced with a direction-dependent calibration pipeline, cover 136 square degrees of the Lo…

The Apertif science verification campaign - Characteristics of polarised radio sources

B. Adebahr, A. Berger, E. A. K. Adams +24

We analyse five early science datasets from the APERture Tile in Focus (Apertif) phased array feed system to verify the polarisation capabilities of Apertif in view of future large…

Sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope: II. Completion of the LOFAR Long-Baseline Calibrator Survey

Neal Jackson, Shruti Badole, John Morgan +69

The Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) Long-Baseline Calibrator Survey (LBCS) was conducted between 2014 and 2019 in order to obtain a set of suitable calibrators for the LOFAR array. In…

Apertif view of the OH Megamaser IRAS 10597+5926: OH 18 cm satellite lines in wide-area HI surveys

Kelley M. Hess, H. Roberts, H. Dénes +26

We present the serendipitous detection of the two main OH maser lines at 1667 and 1665 MHz associated with IRAS 10597+5926 at z = 0.19612 in the untargeted Apertif Wide-area Extrag…

Extreme intra-hour variability of the radio source J1402+5347 discovered with Apertif

T. A. Oosterloo, H. K. Vedantham, A. M. Kutkin +27

The propagation of radio waves from distant compact radio sources through turbulent interstellar plasma in our Galaxy causes these sources to twinkle, a phenomenon called interstel…

The peculiar radio galaxy 4C 35.06: a case for recurrent AGN activity?

A. Shulevski, R. Morganti, P. D. Barthel +85

Using observations obtained with the LOw Fequency ARray (LOFAR), the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) and archival Very Large Array (VLA) data, we have traced the radio…

Initial LOFAR observations of Epoch of Reionization windows: II. Diffuse polarized emission in the ELAIS-N1 field

V. Jelic, A. G. de Bruyn, M. Mevius +106

This study aims to characterise the polarized foreground emission in the ELAIS-N1 field and to address its possible implications for the extraction of the cosmological 21-cm signal…

Discovery of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines in absorption towards Cygnus~A

J. B. R. Oonk, R. J. van Weeren, F. Salgado +100

We present the first detection of carbon radio recombination line absorption along the line of sight to Cygnus A. The observations were carried out with the LOw Frequency ARray in…

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…
