On arXiv: the deepest observation ever carried out by @LOFAR, by Shimwell+
We used 505 h of data at 150 MHz on the ELAIS-N1 field and produced a 6" image (rms 10.7 muJy/b) and a catalog of +150k sources (see https://t.co/PSk0D7jYIi). Stay tuned for more...

🎆@ctao_universe is now officially an ERIC! Welcome to the ERIC family! With three astronomy #ERICs—CTAO, @LOFAR, and JIVE, we expand our ability to observe the Universe from both ends of the electromagnetic spectrum. https://t.co/yQiKxzLKFr @EU_Commission @ERIC_forum

@majorityCarl Likely not, as our telescopes can detect the faintest radiowaves. These satellites just need to be built better, and they can be.

Observations with @LOFAR : Second-Generation Starlink Satellites Leak 30 Times More Radio Interference, Threatening Astronomical Observations https://t.co/Ec1IENlcSO A&A https://t.co/sppGSy5lzF @ASTRON_NL @jivevlbi @ORP_Astro @Starlink @MPIfR_Bonn #radioastronomy @aandaJournal

🌌 #SpaceX's 2nd gen Starlink satellites are leaking up to 32 times more unintended radio waves than the 1st gen, potentially blinding telescopes like LOFAR and jeopardizing our understanding of the Universe!

I am incredibly lucky and privileged to announce that I have been awarded an @ERC_Research starting grant! I will be using it to discover the space weather of other worlds using telescopes such as @LOFAR and @SKAO at @ASTRON #ERCStG

Out today: Ultra-low frequency @LOFAR spectral indices of cluster radio halos led by @ThomasPasini94 w @roxycas @and_botteon @hen_edler et al. Main result: more massive clusters host flatter-spectrum halos

And another paper of ours came out today: @LOFAR Deep Fields: Probing the sub-mJy regime of polarized extragalactic sources in ELAIS-N1. led by S. Piras with @aghatubrid and others. Deepest and highest-resolution polarization study at 150 MHz to date. https://t.co/UI7BxIlVhL

Nice paper led by our student L. Gajovic on what happens if you observe galaxies at frequencies of 50 MHz @LOFAR . https://t.co/DTcAUCG5Xm with @VolkerHeesen @fradega @hen_edler et al.

Opening ceremony for @LOFAR becoming a European Research Infrastructure consortium! Sadly we have a classic summer Dutch day, with the weather not being considerate to the milestone.
