Operation of the Owens Valley Solar Array for Microwave Imaging Spectroscopy

欧文斯河谷射电天文台的太阳能阵列在宽微波频率范围内提供独特的成像和光谱分析能力。该阵列将被一些机构的研究人员用来研究太阳大气的物理参数，特别注意活动区的条件和太阳耀斑的时空发展。在授予期间，该设施将进行升级，以包括两个新天线，这将有效地将成像基线和东西方向的空间分辨率提高一倍。数据采集系统的升级将使观测时间增加40%，并为用户提供更灵敏的分析系统，包括那些远程访问数据的用户。***

Gary, Dale AST 9618538 The Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) Solar Array provides a unique capability for imaging and spectroscopy in a broad range of microwave frequencies. The array will be used by investigators at a number of institutions to study the physical parameters of the solar atmosphere, with particular attention to conditions in active regions and the temporal and spatial development of solar flares. During the grant period, the facility will be upgraded to include two new antennas which will effectively double the baseline for imaging and double the spatial resolution in the east-west direction. Upgrades to the data acquisition system will increase observing time by 40% and provide a more responsive analysis system for users, including those accessing data remotely. ***
