NSF Awards Funding for Next-Generation VLA Antenna Development
The National Science Foundation has awarded NRAO $23 Million for design and development work on the Next Generation Very Large Array, a project proposed as one of the world’s next generation of cutting-edge astronomical research facilities. The award includes funding for producing a prototype antenna for this new radio telescope system.
New Study Reveals Previously Unseen Star Formation in Milky Way
A new survey of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, combines the capabilities of the Very Large Array and the Effelsberg telescope in Germany to provide astronomers with valuable new insights into how stars much more massive than the Sun are formed.
NRAO Selects Contractor for Next-Generation VLA Antenna Development
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory has selected a contractor to design and build a prototype antenna for the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA). a proposed array of 263 dish antennas spread across North America.
ALMA Shows Massive Young Stars Forming in “Chaotic Mess”
Astronomers used ALMA to study three young, high-mass stars and found a “chaotic mess.” They conclude that their observations support a proposed “disordered infall” model for massive young stars.
New Images Reveal Magnetic Structures Near Supermassive Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has produced a new image showing details of the magnetic fields in the region closest to the supermassive black hole at the core of the galaxy M87, providing clues about how its powerful jets are produced.
VLA Helps Astronomers Make New Discoveries About Star-Shredding Events
New studies using the VLA and other telescopes have added to our knowledge of what happens when a black hole shreds a star, but also have raised new questions that astronomers must tackle.
Next Generation VLA Endorsed by Canadian Panel
The Canadian Astronomy Long Range Plan 2020-2030 has recommended that Canada support the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s proposed Next Generation Very Large Array.
