tkp 2.1.0

The LOFAR Transients Pipeline (or “TraP”) is a Python and SQL based system for detecting and responding to transient and variable sources in a stream of astronomical images. It primarily targets LOFAR data, but is also applicable to a range of other instruments. See the pipeline documentation for details including installation instructions and a usage guide.

An overview of the TraP can be found in the TraP paper accompanying release 2.0, and we also have an assigned ASCL ID (http://ascl.net/1412.011). If you make use of TraP in work leading to a publication, we ask that you cite these references.

TraP development is coordinated by The LOFAR Transients Key Science Project.
