Spectral indices, α generated between the LOFAR fluxes and other radio surveys, as presented in Fig. 11.

(MHz) within 5″ Histogram Gaussian
GMRT 240 192 μ = 1.25, σ = 0.41
GMRT 610 141 μ = 0.72, σ = 0.22
FIRST 1400 157 μ = 0.81, σ = 0.24
VLA 1500 155 μ = 0.73, σ = 0.20

Notes. The median, 16th and 84th percentiles of the offsets have been used to describe the average spectral indices observed. These are from comparisons with GMRT (Tasse et al. 2007), FIRST (Becker et al. 1995; Helfand et al. 2015), and VLA (Heywood et al., in prep.).
