About the project
The LOFAR telescope, originally developed in the Netherlands, is managed by ASTRON (the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy). It is an advanced, pan-European, distributed low-frequency radio telescope consisting of separate observing stations with dipole antenna arrays.
LOFAR offers unique observing capabilities for studying astrophysical and geophysical phenomena in the near and distant Universe. Our goal is to develop national capabilities for the observation, processing, and analysis of LOFAR data, as well as to build and develop a Bulgarian LOFAR station.
