Operation of the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array

该奖项支持扩展欧文斯谷太阳能阵列（EOVSA）作为社区设施的科学和运营。EOVSA是一个太阳能专用无线电干涉仪阵列，位于欧文斯谷射电天文台（OVRO），正在建设中，将于2013年完工。EOVSA将为社区提供迄今为止最全面的、基于物理的太阳和空间天气现象的无线电频谱测量，以及一个强大的夜间科学计划。EOVSA开启了天体物理学研究的新时代，同时为未来的频率敏捷太阳射电望远镜（FASR）提供了踏脚石。作为一个基于大学的太阳能专用仪器，该阵列为年轻的科学家和工程师提供了获得构建和操作硬件的实践经验的机会，当与传统的数据分析技能相结合时，可以创造出更好、更有能力的研究人员。

This award supports science and operations of the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) as a community facility. EOVSA is a solar-dedicated radio interferometer array, located at Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO), and is under construction for completion in 2013. EOVSA will provide the community open access to the most comprehensive, physics-based radio spectral measurements of solar and space-weather phenomena to date, together with a strong program of night-time science.EOVSA opens a new era in astrophysics research, while providing a stepping stone to the future Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR). As a university-based, solar-dedicated instrument, the array provides opportunities for young scientists and engineers to obtain hands-on experience in constructing and operating hardware, which when combined with traditional data analysis skills creates better, more capable researchers.
