LOFAR imaging of Cygnus A – direct detection of a turnover in the hotspot radio spectra

LOFAR imaging of Cygnus A – direct detection of a turnover in the hotspot radio spectra

The low-frequency radio spectra of the hotspots within powerful radio galaxies can provide valuable information about the physical processes operating at the site of the jet termination. These processes are responsible for the dissipation of jet kinetic energy, particle acceleration, and magnetic-fi...
