ASKAP reveals giant radio halos in two merging SPT galaxy clusters -- Making the case for a direction-dependent pipeline --

Amanda G. Wilber, Melanie Johnston-Hollitt, Stefan W. Duchesne +4

Early science observations from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) have revealed clear signals of diffuse radio emission associated with two clusters detected…

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…

A LOFAR study of non-merging massive galaxy clusters

Federica Savini, Annalisa Bonafede, Marcus Brueggen +15

Centrally located diffuse radio emission has been observed in both merging and non-merging galaxy clusters. Depending on their morphology and size, we distinguish between giant rad…

The spectacular cluster chain Abell 781 as observed with LOFAR, GMRT, and XMM-Newton

A. Botteon, T. W. Shimwell, A. Bonafede +20

A number of merging galaxy clusters show the presence of large-scale radio emission associated with the intra-cluster medium (ICM). These synchrotron sources are generally classifi…

Evolutionary phases of merging clusters as seen by LOFAR

Amanda Wilber, Marcus Brüggen, Annalisa Bonafede +13

Massive, merging galaxy clusters often host giant, diffuse radio sources that arise from shocks and turbulence; hence, radio observations can be useful for determining the merger s…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey - II. First data release

T. W. Shimwell, C. Tasse, M. J. Hardcastle +104

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is an ongoing sensitive, high-resolution 120-168MHz survey of the entire northern sky for which observations are now 20% complete. We present…
