==OVRO-LWA Solar-Dedicated Spectroscopic Imager==
The OVRO-LWA (Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array) has recently been upgraded to include a solar-dedicated beam and two solar imaging modes (slow visibilities of 352 antennas with a 10-s cadence, and fast visibilities of 48 antennas with a 0.1-s cadence).  The large collecting area and excellent calibration provide unprecedented high-sensitivity imaging of the quiet Sun and bursts.  The array is currently in commissioning and observations are not yet continuous, but they are becoming more so.  See the daily realtime data at http://ovsa.njit.edu/status.php for '''real-time display of the spectrogram and a selection of images''', both updated on a 1-min cadence.
===Solar-Dedicated Modes===
* Beamformer: the beamformer uses the 256 core antennas to form a synthesized beam of more than 1 degree in size that tracks the Sun from sunrise to sunset.  This permits a continuous record of the full-Stokes total flux (without spatial resolution) of the Sun (a dynamic spectrum) with 24 kHz frequency resolution (3072 frequencies from 15-90 MHz) and as low as 1 ms time resolution.
* Slow Visibility Imaging: in this mode, the entire 352-element array is interferometrically correlated to provide visibilities for imaging at all 3072 frequencies at 10-s time resolution.  This is ideal for imaging quiet Sun and slowly-varying emission such as coronal mass ejections and active region variability.
* Fast Visibility Imaging: in this mode, a subset of 48 antennas (chosen to include mainly outer antennas to maintain good spatial resolution) is interferometrically correlated to provide visibilities for imaging at 768 frequencies (96 kHz frequency resolution) at 0.1-s time resolution.  This is ideal for imaging rapidly varying emission such as type II and type III bursts as well as many other solar spectral fine structures.
===Inital Data Access===
In its current commissioning state, we try to run the beamformer and imaging pipeline every day in real-time since November 2023 (no latency for beamforming spectrograms and 5-10 min latency for images). Quicklook real-time spectrograms/images can be accessed from http://ovsa.njit.edu/status.php. To access data from previous days, use the following links (replace yyyymmdd with the date you desire):
* Quicklook beamformer total-power spectrograms: http://ovsa.njit.edu/lwa-data/1min_spectra/yyyymmdd/. Check this link for additional daily plots [[Daily OVRO-LWA Beamformer Data]].
* Quicklook multi-frequency movies at 1-min cadence: http://ovsa.njit.edu/lwa-data/1min_images/yyyymmdd/movie_yyyy-mm-dd.html
Note our pipeline processing development is still in the early phase. For example, absolute flux calibrations have not been done for the beamformer spectrograms. Also, artificial effects (including ionospheric refraction effects) are present in the images that cause distortions/shifts. We caution interested users only to consider them for quick-look purposes at this point. Please contact the EOVSA PIs (Dale Gary, Bin Chen) if you intend to use them for science.

EOVSA (Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array) is a solar-dedicated radio interferometer operated by the New Jersey Institute of Technology and serving as a National Science Foundation Geospace Facility. NSF.jpg

Operation of EOVSA is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. AGS-2130832. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or  recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science  Foundation.

OVRO-LWA1.png

OVRO-LWA (Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array) is an all-sky imager that has a new solar-dedicated spectroscopic imaging mode. OVRO-LWA is a multi-institutional collaboration led by Caltech. NJIT Solar Radio Group is leading its solar-mode development and science. At the bottom of this page are new links for that facility.

Using EOVSA Data

  • EOVSA Data Products: An introduction to standard EOVSA spectrogram and spectral image products with example scripts for reading and plotting.
  • EOVSA Data Policy: Policy for using EOVSA data products.
  • Analysis Software: These are for in-depth use of EOVSA data (from calibrated visibilities) and tools for quantitative analysis.
    • SunCASA A wrapper around CASA (the Common Astronomy Software Applications package) for synthesis imaging and visualizing solar spectral imaging data. CASA is one of the leading software tool for "supporting the data post-processing needs of the next generation of radio astronomical telescopes such as ALMA and VLA", an international effort led by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. The current version of CASA uses Python (2.7) interface. More information about CASA can be found on NRAO's CASA website . Note, CASA is available ONLY on UNIX-BASED PLATFORMS (and therefore, so is SunCASA).
    • GSFIT A IDL-widget(GUI)-based spectral fitting package called gsfit, which provides a user-friendly display of EOVSA image cubes and an interface to fast fitting codes (via platform-dependent shared-object libraries).
    • pyGSFIT A Python-widget(pyQT)-based spectral fitting package, which provides a user-friendly display of EOVSA image cubes, spatially resolved spectra, and an interface to scipy-based fitting codes.

EOVSA Scientist on Duty

OVRO-LWA Solar-Dedicated Spectroscopic Imager

The OVRO-LWA (Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array) has recently been upgraded to include a solar-dedicated beam and two solar imaging modes (slow visibilities of 352 antennas with a 10-s cadence, and fast visibilities of 48 antennas with a 0.1-s cadence). The large collecting area and excellent calibration provide unprecedented high-sensitivity imaging of the quiet Sun and bursts. The array is currently in commissioning and observations are not yet continuous, but they are becoming more so. See the daily realtime data at http://ovsa.njit.edu/status.php for real-time display of the spectrogram and a selection of images, both updated on a 1-min cadence.

Solar-Dedicated Modes

  • Beamformer: the beamformer uses the 256 core antennas to form a synthesized beam of more than 1 degree in size that tracks the Sun from sunrise to sunset. This permits a continuous record of the full-Stokes total flux (without spatial resolution) of the Sun (a dynamic spectrum) with 24 kHz frequency resolution (3072 frequencies from 15-90 MHz) and as low as 1 ms time resolution.
  • Slow Visibility Imaging: in this mode, the entire 352-element array is interferometrically correlated to provide visibilities for imaging at all 3072 frequencies at 10-s time resolution. This is ideal for imaging quiet Sun and slowly-varying emission such as coronal mass ejections and active region variability.
  • Fast Visibility Imaging: in this mode, a subset of 48 antennas (chosen to include mainly outer antennas to maintain good spatial resolution) is interferometrically correlated to provide visibilities for imaging at 768 frequencies (96 kHz frequency resolution) at 0.1-s time resolution. This is ideal for imaging rapidly varying emission such as type II and type III bursts as well as many other solar spectral fine structures.

Inital Data Access

In its current commissioning state, we try to run the beamformer and imaging pipeline every day in real-time since November 2023 (no latency for beamforming spectrograms and 5-10 min latency for images). Quicklook real-time spectrograms/images can be accessed from http://ovsa.njit.edu/status.php. To access data from previous days, use the following links (replace yyyymmdd with the date you desire):

Note our pipeline processing development is still in the early phase. For example, absolute flux calibrations have not been done for the beamformer spectrograms. Also, artificial effects (including ionospheric refraction effects) are present in the images that cause distortions/shifts. We caution interested users only to consider them for quick-look purposes at this point. Please contact the EOVSA PIs (Dale Gary, Bin Chen) if you intend to use them for science.
