摘要:e-VLBI - the use of the Internet in real time VLBI high resolution observations in radio
astronomy - has become a routinely available technique in this last year. ESLEA has contributed
significantly to its development, by improving our understanding of data transmission networks,
the limitations of transport protocols and end hosts, and communication of this knowledge to
radio astronomers in Europe. A series of tests, organised by JIVE in the Netherlands and
ESLEA has gradually led to open call science runs, now considered as a regular part of
European VLBI Operations. A major upgrade project - EXPReS - is now underway to equip
more European observatories with e-VLBI capability. This paper outlines the work done in
ESLEA on e-VLBI and illustrates its success by showing recently obtained astronomical results.
