Cosmology from LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Data Release 2: Angular Clustering of Radio Sources
Covering $\sim$5600 deg$^2$ to rms sensitivities of $\sim$70$-$100 $\mu$Jy beam$^{-1}$, the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Data Release 2 (LoTSS-DR2) provides the largest low-frequency ($\sim$150 MHz) radio catalogue to date, making it an excellent tool for large-area radio cosmology studies.

Zusammenfassung: | Covering $\sim$5600 deg$^2$ to rms sensitivities of $\sim$70$-$100 $\mu$Jy
beam$^{-1}$, the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Data Release 2 (LoTSS-DR2) provides
the largest low-frequency ($\sim$150 MHz) radio catalogue to date, making it an
excellent tool for large-area radio cosmology studies. In this work, we use
LoTSS-DR2 sources to investigate the angular two-point correlation function of
galaxies within the survey. We discuss systematics in the data and an improved
methodology for generating random catalogues, compared to that used for
LoTSS-DR1, before presenting the angular clustering for $\sim$900,000 sources
$\geq$$1.5$ mJy and a peak signal-to-noise $\geq$$7.5$ across $\sim$$80\%$ of
the observed area. Using the clustering we infer the bias assuming two
evolutionary models. When fitting {angular scales of $0.5 \leq\theta |
