e-EVN progress (invited)
Arpad Szomoru · 2009
During the past years e-VLBI has undergone a remarkable development.At the start of the EXPReS 2 project in March 2006, the e-VLBI network was limited to a handful of European telescopes connected at data rates not exceeding 128 Mbps.Currently telescopes around the world routinely participate in global e-VLBI sessions at data rates of 512 Mbps and more.This means that both resolution and sensitivity of the e-EVN have reached the same level as that of the traditional EVN, using data recorded on magnetic media.In this paper I will give a short overview of the history of the development of e-VLBI in Europe and the hard-and software efforts in EXPReS.
