An international team of over 200 astronomers from 18 countries, including astronomers from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, published data from the first phase of a new radio sky survey of unprecedented sensitivity, carried out using the LOFAR interferometer.

Published maps of the radio sky show hundreds of thousands of previously unknown galaxies and shed new light on many problems of modern astrophysics, such as the physics of black holes or the evolution of galaxy clusters.

The participation of Polish scientists in the project was possible thanks to the financial support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the National Science Center. The team of Krakow scientists consisted of six people whose task was to “identify and classify morphological thousands of radio sources in the review.”
