Astronomers deliver the sharpest and deepest view yet of the low-frequency radio sky
Using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), an international team led by Leiden University has produced the sharpest and most sensitive radio image of the sky ever made at low radio frequencies.
AI Summary
An international team led by Leiden University used the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) to create the most detailed and sensitive low‑frequency radio image of the sky to date. The map covers a region roughly 25 times the size of the full moon and identifies nearly 63,000 radio sources, including active galactic nuclei and star‑forming galaxies. The findings have been accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics and are currently available as a preprint on arXiv.
