Description
LoTSS DR2 is currently the largest radio catalogue in existence, but matching radio with optical sources, essential for science, has presented some huge challenges. I'll describe the steps we've taken to achieve our present 85% optical ID rate (by far the largest set of optical IDs for any radio catalogue) and the science that enables, looking particularly at the very large samples of AGN that can be robustly selected from the multiwavelength data.
