A LOFAR prompt search for radio emission accompanying X-ray flares in GRB 210112A

A. Hennessy, R. L. C. Starling, A. Rowlinson +14

The composition of relativistic gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets and their emission mechanisms are still debated, and they could be matter or magnetically dominated. One way to distingui…

LOFAR detection of extended emission around a mini-halo in the galaxy cluster Abell 1413

Giulia Lusetti, Annalisa Bonafede, Lorenzo Lovisari +14

The relation between giant radio halos and mini-halos in galaxy clusters is not understood. The former are usually associated with merging clusters, the latter are found in relaxed…
