Welcome to the lofar-vlbi-pipeline wiki!

Here you will find information on how to run workflows to produce high-resolution (sub-arcsecond) images with the International LOFAR Telescope (ILT). The workflows require LINC to be run first, as it applies those solutions before starting the workflows described here.

We strongly recommend that you read all of the documentation before starting.
