Scientific paper

The LOFAR-UK station at Chilbolton has recently been completed and significantly increases the angular resolution of the International LOFAR Telescope, as well as providing a unique training site and testbed for british experience with next-generation software telescopes. The station has been funded primarily through the LOFAR-UK, the largest astronomy collaboration in Britain, as well as via the South East Physics Network (SEPNET) and STFC. In this brief paper we discuss the history and organisation of LOFAR-UK, provide a technical description of the Chilbolton site, and discuss how LOFAR stations can be augmented by the addition of extra local processing capabilities such as ARTEMIS.
