The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey -- V. Second data release

T. W. Shimwell, M. J. Hardcastle, C. Tasse +103

In this data release from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) we present 120-168MHz images covering 27% of the northern sky. Our coverage is split into two regions centred at ap…

A snapshot of the oldest AGN feedback phases

M. Brienza, T. W. Shimwell, F. de Gasperin +19

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) inject large amounts of energy into their host galaxies and surrounding environment, shaping their properties and evolution. In particular, AGN jets in…

Nonthermal phenomena in the center of Abell 1775: An 800 kpc head-tail, revived fossil plasma and slingshot radio halo

A. Botteon, S. Giacintucci, F. Gastaldello +15

Thermal gas in the center of galaxy clusters can show substantial motions that generate surface-brightness and temperature discontinuities known as cold fronts. The motions may be…

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…

Diffuse Radio Emission from Galaxy Clusters in the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields

E. Osinga, R. J. van Weeren, J. Boxelaar +15

Low-frequency radio observations are revealing an increasing number of diffuse synchrotron sources from galaxy clusters, dominantly in the form of radio halos or radio relics. The…

LOFAR observations of galaxy clusters in HETDEX

R. J. van Weeren, T. W. Shimwell, A. Botteon +20

Diffuse cluster radio sources, in the form of radio halos and relics, reveal the presence of cosmic rays and magnetic fields in the intracluster medium (ICM). These cosmic rays are…
