Lofar low-band antenna observations of the 3C 295 and boötes fields: Source counts and ultra-steep spectrum sources

We present Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) Low Band observations of the Boötes and 3C 295 fields. Our images made at 34, 46, and 62 MHz reach noise levels of 12, 8, and 5 mJy beam–1, making them the deepest images ever obtained in this frequency range. In total, we detect between 300 and 400 sources in...
