Discovery of carbon radio recombination lines in absorption towards Cygnus A

We present the first detection of carbon radio recombination line absorption along the line of sight to Cygnus A. The observations were carried out with the Low Frequency Array in the 33–57MHz range. These low-frequency radio observations provide us with a new line of sight to study the diffuse,...
