LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray

M. P. van Haarlem, +222 more
TL;DR: In dit artikel zullen the authors LOFAR beschrijven: van de astronomische mogelijkheden met de nieuwe telescoop tot aan een nadere technische beshrijving of het instrument.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Co-Evolution of Galaxies and Supermassive Black Holes: Insights from Surveys of the Contemporary Universe

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a picture in which the population of AGN can be divided into two distinct populations: Radiative-mode AGN and Jet-Mode AGN, which are associated with black holes that produce radiant energy powered by accretion at rates in excess of 1% of the Eddington Limit.

The Coevolution of Galaxies and Supermassive Black Holes: Insights from Surveys of the Contemporary Universe

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a picture in which the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be divided into two distinct populations: radiative-mode AGNs are associated with black holes that produce radiant energy powered by accretion at rates in excess of ∼ 1% of the Eddington limit.
Journal ArticleDOI

The host galaxies of radio-loud active galactic nuclei: mass dependences, gas cooling and active galactic nuclei feedback

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the properties of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) with redshifts 0.03 10 23 W Hz -1 and showed that the radio luminosity function is a strong function of stellar mass, rising from nearly zero below a stellar mass of 10 10 M to more than 30 per cent at stellar masses of 5 x 10 11 M.
Journal ArticleDOI

The host galaxies of radio-loud AGN: mass dependencies, gas cooling and AGN feedback

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the integral radio luminosity function in six ranges of stellar and black hole mass and found that the radio-loud AGN shape is similar to those of ordinary galaxies of the same mass.
