Sub-arcsecond imaging with the International LOFAR Telescope I. Foundational calibration strategy and pipeline

L. K. Morabito, N. J. Jackson, S. Mooney +71

[abridged] The International LOFAR Telescope is an interferometer with stations spread across Europe. With baselines of up to ~2,000 km, LOFAR has the unique capability of achievin…

An infrared study of Galactic OH/IR stars. III. Variability properties of the Arecibo sample

F. M. Jiménez-Esteban, D. Engels, D. S. Aguado +2

We present the results of a near-infrared (NIR) monitoring program carried out between 1999 and 2005 to determine the variability properties of the Arecibo sample of OH/IR stars. T…

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…

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…

Reduction of the maximum mass-loss rate of OH/IR stars due to unnoticed binary interaction

L. Decin, W. Homan, T. Danilovich +12

In 1981, the idea of a superwind that ends the life of cool giant stars was proposed. Extreme OH/IR-stars develop superwinds with the highest mass-loss rates known so far, up to a…

The loss of large amplitude pulsations at the end of AGB evolution

Dieter Engels, Sandra Etoka, Eric Gerard

Since 2013 we are performing with the Nancay Radio Telescope (NRT) a monitoring program of >100 Galactic disk OH/IR stars, having bright 1612-MHz OH maser emission. The variations…
