Welcome to the Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA) project repository — a collection for solar radio astronomy research, data analysis, and instrumentation development based at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO).
The Owens Valley Solar Array is dedicated to observing and understanding solar activity through high-precision radio imaging and spectroscopy. Our work combines data from two key instruments located at OVRO:
-
EOVSA (Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array):
A solar-dedicated radio interferometer designed to image the Sun in microwave frequencies (1–18 GHz). EOVSA provides insights into solar flares, coronal magnetic fields, and energetic particle acceleration. -
OVRO-LWA (Owens Valley Radio Observatory – Long Wavelength Array):
A low-frequency (10–88 MHz) array for wide-field solar and space weather monitoring. OVRO-LWA complements EOVSA by probing the Sun’s extended corona and solar radio bursts at longer wavelengths.
