Participants will engage with a combination of lectures, practical tutorials, and science sessions. Topics will include: 1) Fundamentals of radio interferometry, antenna/receiver/digital systems, calibration and synthesis imaging, radio emission processes, and spectral diagnostics; 2) Introduction to OVSA instrumentation, data products, and hands-on tutorials; 3) Presentations of related science results. Participants will also gain experience with data analysis tools commonly used in the radio and solar physics community, particularly Python-based workflows. Experienced researchers and OVSA team members will lead the lectures and tutorials.
Anyone who is interested in using solar radio data in their research is encouraged to attend. No prior experience with radio data is required, though a background in solar/space physics is helpful. All the data tutorials will be based on Python/Jupyter Notebook. Some experience with Python programming is recommended.
Registration and (optional) abstract submission will be due on June 30. A limited amount of travel support will be available, which will be prioritized to support students and early career scientists. The registration form includes an option to request travel support. To be considered, registration and the travel support application must be submitted by June 15.
