Bonn Correlator Status

We report on the status of the Bonn Correlation Center focusing on geodesy.
The Bonn Distributed FX (DiFX) correlator is operated jointly by the Max Planck Institute for Radio As-

tronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn and the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (Bundesamt fu ̈r Kartographie und Geoda ̈sie, BKG). Various versions of DiFX software are used to correlate from IVS S/X legacy sessions to VGOS observations. As one of the IVS correlators we correlate Intensive series (INT3), R1 series as well as OHIG and T2 series for IVS S/X Legacy sessions and VGOS 24-hour sessions. Since October 2021, we upgraded to a commercial 10 Gbps link (NetCologne) for e-VLBI.

In this talk, as well as technical aspects of the cluster and its performance, we summarize our duties as one of the IVS correlators and recent progress.
