Description
Recent years have seen a resurgence in radio astronomy at sub-GHz frequencies, with the construction and operation of telescopes such as the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) and the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), as well as the upgrade of existing facilities such as the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Radio astronomy at low frequencies offers a valuable window into objects and processes in the Milky Way, revealing details of objects as diverse as pulsars, supernova remnants, the cold interstellar medium, ionised regions around young stars, and the nearby magnetic ISM. I will present recent results in this field, explore some of the synergies with CTA, and discuss the potential for the future with the advent of SKA_Low.
