Physical insights from the spectrum of the radio halo in MACS J0717.5+3745

K. Rajpurohit, G. Brunetti, A. Bonafede +18

We present new LOFAR observations of the massive merging galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745. The cluster hosts the most powerful radio halo known to date. These new observations, in…

The LOFAR Two Meter Sky Survey: Deep Fields, I -- Direction-dependent calibration and imaging

C. Tasse, T. Shimwell, M. J. Hardcastle +29

The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is an ideal instrument to conduct deep extragalactic surveys. It has a large field of view and is sensitive to large scale and compact emission. It…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields -- Data Release 1: IV. Photometric redshifts and stellar masses

K. J. Duncan, R. Kondapally, M. J. I. Brown +20

The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is a sensitive, high-resolution 120-168 MHz survey split across multiple tiers over the northern sky. The first LoTSS D…

The Coma cluster at LOFAR frequencies I: insights into particle acceleration mechanisms in the radio bridge

A. Bonafede, G. Brunetti, F. Vazza +18

Radio synchrotron emission from the bridges of low-density gas connecting galaxy clusters and groups is a challenge for particle acceleration processes. In this work, we analyse th…

The bright end of the infrared luminosity functions and the abundance of hyperluminous infrared galaxies

L. Wang, F. Gao, P. N. Best +20

We provide the most accurate estimate yet of the bright end of the infrared (IR) luminosity functions (LFs) and the abundance of hyperluminous IR galaxies (HLIRGs) with IR luminosi…

The contribution of discrete sources to the sky temperature at 144 MHz

M. J. Hardcastle, T. W. Shimwell, C. Tasse +7

In recent years, the level of the extragalactic radio background has become a point of considerable interest, with some lines of argument pointing to an entirely new cosmological s…
