The significance of low frequency interferometric observations for the GPS pulsar flux estimation: the case of J1740+1000

K. Rozko, J. Kijak, K. Chyzy +6

In this paper we present recent Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) observations of the pulsar J1740+1000. We confirm that its spectrum has a turnover at 260 MHz, which is unusual for a ty…

Warped diffusive radio halo around the quiescent spiral edge-on galaxy NGC 4565

V. Heesen, L. Whitler, P. Schmidt +12

Cosmic rays play a pivotal role in launching galactic winds, particularly in quiescently star-forming galaxies where the hot gas alone is not sufficient to drive a wind. Except for…
