OVRO-LWA Produces Over 100 Million Images of the Sun

The Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA), with solar observations operated by the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, has surpassed 100 million solar radio images since routine operations began in January 2024. Operating at full capacity, the system produces 144 fine-channel images and 12 multi-frequency synthesis images every 20 seconds, making it one of the most data-rich solar radio imaging pipelines to date. Observing the middle corona at 15–87 MHz, OVRO-LWA enables both scientific discovery and near-real-time space weather monitoring through high-fidelity, low-latency spectral (https://ovsa.njit.edu/live/) and imaging (https://ovsa.njit.edu/status.php). All solar data are publicly available. Operations are supported by NSF award AGS-2436999.
