The Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA) has been funded for major expansion, to create a university-based facility serving a broad scientific community, to keep the U.S. competitive in the field of solar radio physics. The project, funded by the National Science Foundation through the MRI-Recovery and Reinvestment program, will result in a world-class facility for scientific research at microwave radio frequencies (1-18 GHz) in solar and space weather physics. The project also includes an exciting program of targeted astronomical science. The solar science to be addressed focuses on the magnetic structure of the solar corona, on transient phenomena resulting from magnetic interactions, including the sudden release of energy and subsequent particle acceleration and heating, and on space weather phenomena. The project will support the scientific community by providing open data access and software tools for analysis of the data, to exploit synergies with on-going solar research in other wavelength bands.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) will upgrade OVSA from its current complement of 7 antennas to a total of 15 by adding 8 new antennas, and will reinvest in the existing infrastructure by replacing the existing control systems, signal transmission, and signal processing with modern, far more capable and reliable systems based on new technology developed for the Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR). The project will be completed in time to provide solar-dedicated observations during the upcoming solar maximum in 2013 and beyond. We will detail the new science addressed by the expanded array, and provide an overview of the expected data products.
