HamSCIence Talk for 9 Oct: Owens Valley Radio Observatory Instruments and Science

[Gary Mikitin, AF8A]

Hello HamSCI - The HamSCIence Zoom session is making its debut for the 2025-26 academic year (9 October, 4 PM Eastern, 2000 UTC).  We are starting off with what should be an excellent program:  Dale Gary, from NJIT, will be presenting.  (Zoom details below.)

Title: Owens Valley Radio Observatory Instruments and Science

Summary: The Caltech Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) hosts several radio instruments targeting the Sun (operated by New Jersey Institute of Technology), active galaxies, the transient sky, and cosmology.  The Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array images the near surface of the Sun at high frequencies (1-18 GHz) while the OVRO Low Frequency Array images the entire sky (including the larger-scale solar emission) at low frequencies (15-88 MHz).  Other instruments include the Deep Synoptic Array-100 (DSA-100) and the 40-meter radio dish surveying Blazars and very long baseline interferometry.  These instruments and their science are discussed, as well as plans for future instruments of much larger scale.

About our Presenter:  Dale Gary’s nearly 40-year career has largely focused on using radio observations to study explosive energy releases from the Sun, contributing to more than 150 peer-reviewed publications that have advanced the field.

Since joining NJIT’s faculty in 1997, Gary has been at the forefront of research applying microwave spectral imaging to better understand complex physical processes in the solar atmosphere that drive solar flares and coronal mass ejections — massive eruptions that can profoundly impact Earth’s space environment.  The American Astronomical Society (AAS) named Gary a distinguished professor of physics at NJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) in 2025.

Hello and Greetings,

 

Any chance this Zoom session was recorded and might be available (e.g. HamSCI YouTube Channel) to those who missed it?

 

Thank you very much!
