Recent Status of the Shanghai Correlator

Abstract

The Shanghai VLBI Correlator is hosted and operated by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). It is one of the correlator in IVS, dedicating to astronomical and geodetic data correlation. These data are mainly derived from legacy S/X and VGOS sessions of IVS, CVN observations, K-band geodesy of EAVN, PIs’ projects, etc. I will provide a comprehensive introduction to the Shanghai VLBI Correlator, including technical aspects of the DiFX cluster and its performance, update plans, team members and activities. Highlights include VGOS, K-band geodesy and mixed-mode observations activities.
