This is the general information page for the (potential) international partners of LOFAR. ===== General Information - Site Requirements ===== A document has been drafted detailing the site requirements, the placement and the layout of a LOFAR station on an LOFAR site in countries outside the Netherlands (stations in the Netherlands have a different layout). This document tries to address a lot of questions that we are frequently asked. * {{:public:2008-11-24_doc_lofar_srs_019_iss1rev5_int-site.pdf|International Site Requirement Document}} (living document, last update November 25, 2008) * {{:public:2008-12-16_doc_crane_for_field_positioning_hba_tiles.pdf|Requirements crane for field positioning of the HBA tiles}} * {{:public:2009-02-20_hba_anchoring_installation_guide.pdf|HBA anchor installation guide}} * {{:public:2008-09-30_doc_lofar_e-lofar_station_network_description-final.pdf|International LOFAR station network description}} (last update September 30, 2008) * {{:public:2008-06-10_doc_specs_lofar_container.pdf|LOFAR Container specification}} If you have more questions, you would like to visit us or you would like us to visit you, please contact Corina Vogt (vogt<at>astron.nl) ===== International partners ===== At the moment, there are the following countries planning to add station to LOFAR or have them already funded: * Germany - Six stations funded and completed (Effelsberg, Garching, Potsdam, Tautenburg, Juelich, Hamburg [DE601,DE602, DE603, DE604, DE605, DE609) * UK - One station funded and completed (Chilbolton) [UK608] * France - One station funded and completed (Nancay) [FR606] * Sweden - One station funded and completed (Onsala) [SE607] * Finland - One prototype-station funded and completed (Kilpisjärvi) for ESICAT testing, not ILT condected [Kaira] * Poland - Three stations funded and completed (Lazy near Krakow, Baldy near Olsztyn, Borowiec near Poznan) [PL610, PL611, PL612] * Ireland - One funded and completed [IE613] * Latvia - One station funded and completed [LV614] * Italy - One station planned On Google Maps that looks like (//green//: funded station, //yellow//: funded but no place found yet, //red//: planned station): {{:public:lofar_european_configuration.jpg?300|lofar_european_configuration.jpg}} On the uv-plane this looks like: {{:public:lofar_uv-plot_e-lofar.png?300}} ===== Contact ===== At the various countries that are already involved in LOFAR, consortia exist.
