Processing and characterization
The processing pipelines used by ASTRON are described in the 'Pre-processing Pipeline' and 'Prefactor Pipeline' sub-pages. In order to generate high sensitivity images advanced calibration recipes need to be applied to the pre-processed data released by ASTRON. These are being captured in the development of the RAPTHOR pipeline, which we expect to offer to the community in 2022. The computing time and resources required to process LOFAR data thoruhg the preprocessing pipeline can be found in the Computational Requirements sub-page.
