The Status of RAEGE
Abstract
We describe the status of the RAEGE network reviewing each of the stations that compose it. The Observatory of Yebes station is equipped with a broadband receiver and it has been taking part in VGOS observations since mid 2016. Works to improve and minimize the impact of RFI are presented. Santa Maria station is currently running a tri-band receiver, whereas the first works to construct a 13.2-m telescope at Gran Canaria were initiated. We also review the activities of the Observatory of Yebes as a Technological Development Center for the IVS. These are mainly related to the construction of broadband receivers, a cable calibration system, RFI measurements, and a harwdare solution for converting linear to circular polarizaton in a broadband regime.
