AST 0307670PI: GaryThis project supports the Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA), the only university-based solar dedicated radio imaging array, through operations support, partial support for the personnel on the site at Owens Valley Radio Observatory (Big Pine, CA), and partial support for graduate student and post-doctoral research with the data. As the only solar-dedicated radio instrument in the United States, continued operation of the instrument, through its unique combination of imaging and spectral coverage, provides quantitative physical measurements of solar particles and magnetic fields in thousands of solar flares.Broader Impacts: The OVSA instrument represents irreplaceable infrastructure for research and education. The OVSA data provide research projects for undergraduate and graduate students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, an urban school, in Newark, NJ, and the students working with the data come from a diverse group. The OVSA facilities provide a testbed for prototyping of antennas, feeds, and signal transmission systems for the new Frequency Agile Solar Radio telescope, highly ranked by two national decadal surveys, conceived to be a national facility, and the world's premiere solar instrument for the next two decades. The OVSA data are available through a web interface to scientists worldwide to add to their studies of the Sun and solar activity. Solar activity can have a direct impact on society through its effects on satellite and communication systems, among others. Results from OVSA are used to bring the excitement of this research to school and community groups, through involvement with the Newark Museum, the Newark Discovery Charter School, and Project Astro NOVA in New Jersey.

AST 0307670PI：Gary该项目支持欧文斯谷太阳能阵列（OVSA），唯一的基于大学的太阳能专用无线电成像阵列，通过运营支持，欧文斯谷射电天文台（Big Pine，CA）现场人员的部分支持，以及对研究生和博士后研究数据的部分支持。作为美国唯一的太阳专用无线电仪器，该仪器通过其独特的成像和光谱覆盖组合，继续运行，提供了对数千次太阳耀斑中的太阳粒子和磁场的定量物理测量。OVSA的数据为新泽西理工学院的本科生和研究生提供了研究项目，这是一所位于新泽西州纽瓦克的城市学校，使用这些数据的学生来自不同的群体。 OVSA设施为新的频率捷变太阳射电望远镜的天线，馈源和信号传输系统的原型设计提供了一个测试平台，该望远镜在两次国家十年调查中排名靠前，被认为是一个国家设施，也是未来二十年世界上首屈一指的太阳仪器。OVSA的数据可通过网络界面提供给世界各地的科学家，以增加他们对太阳和太阳活动的研究。太阳活动可通过对卫星和通信系统等的影响对社会产生直接影响。 来自OVSA的结果被用于将这项研究的兴奋带给学校和社区团体，通过参与纽瓦克博物馆，纽瓦克探索特许学校和新泽西的天文新星项目。
