The LOFAR view of giant, early-type galaxies: Radio emission from active nuclei and star formation

We studied the properties and the origin of the radio emission in the most luminous, early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby Universe (MK ≤ -25, recession velocity ≤7500 km s-1), as seen by the 150 MHz Low-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) observations. LOFAR images are available for 188 of these giant ETGs...
