Concerning Cosmic Magnetism Key Science Project and Surveys Key Science Project projects – Krzysztof Chyży, Marek Jamrozy and team members. Concerning LOFAR station in Łazy – Marian Soida, doctoral and undergraduate students, staff. ZRA.
It is the first LOFAR survey of the entire sky at 150 MHz in eight bands. It will enable all kinds of new research to be carried out. More detailed surveys have already started.
Galaxies appear to be larger at lower frequencies. This is an effect of the relativistic escape of plasma from galactic disks. The contrast between the spiral arms decreases.
Contrary to expectations, LOFAR observations have shown that the bubbles at the centre of the Virgo cluster (M87) are young. They are constantly being fed with new particles by the central black hole.
