I-LOFAR, stands for the Irish Low-Frequency Array telescope! I-LOFAR is a cutting-edge radio telescope located at Birr Castle, County Offaly, Ireland, and is part of the larger European LOFAR network. We use this telescope to explore the universe at low radio frequencies, contributing to a broad range of scientific research, from studying solar activity to exploring distant galaxies and understanding cosmic phenomena.

This GitHub organization hosts a variety of projects related to the operation, data processing, and scientific research conducted with I-LOFAR. Our repositories include:

• Data Processing Pipelines: Tools and scripts for processing raw data from I-LOFAR, making it ready for analysis by scientists.
• Observation Scheduling: Software to manage and schedule observations, ensuring efficient use of the telescope's capabilities.
• Monitoring Tools: Applications and scripts to visualize the data collected and system health, aiding in the collection and storage of data.
• Scientific Research: Code and documentation for various research projects conducted using I-LOFAR data, ranging from solar physics to pulsar searching.

We welcome contributions from the community! Whether you are a scientist, developer, student, or enthusiast, there are many ways to get involved:
