Initial LOFAR observations of epoch of reionization windows II. Diffuse polarized emission in the ELAIS-N1 field

Aims. This study aims to characterise the polarized foreground emission in the ELAIS-N1 field and to address its possible implications for extracting of the cosmological 21 cm signal from the LOw-Frequency ARray-Epoch of Reionization (LOFAR-EoR) data. Methods. We used the high band antennas of LOFAR...
