e-VLBI uses high-speed optical fibres to link VLBI radio telescopes in real-time. In Europe 6 radio telescopes of the European VLBI Network EVN are now connected with Gigabit per second links via their National Research Networks and the Pan-European research network GEANT.
The following image shows the first science produced by the European VLBI Network using e-VLBI. The data from 6 telescopes were processed in real time at the European Data Processing centre at JIVE.
