Latest Updates on COVID-19 Measures from NRAO and Operational Status 19 November 2020 VLA Sky Survey Reveals Newborn Jets in Distant Galaxies Comparing data from VLA sky surveys made some two decades apart revealed that the black hole-powered engines at the cores of some distant galaxies have launched new, superfast jets of material during the interval between the surveys. VLBA Very Long Baseline Array The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) is ten radio telescopes stationed across 5,351 miles. It s the world s sharpest, dedicated telescope array. The NRAO and GBO Welcome our 2020 Summer Students! Nan Janney | 26 May 2020 Every year, we partner with Green Bank Observatory to welcome more than 30 students from around the country into NRAO NINE Hub at Texas Tech University Heather Harbin | 3 March 2020 The NRAO NINE program mission is to build a pipeline of talent within the radio astronomy field, and within under-represented communities. From Chile to New Mexico: Sister Cities and Observatories Summer Ash | 19 January 2020 Antenna climb at the VLA, left to right: Filipe Lizana, Camilla Pérez, Simón Contreras, Sonia Duffau. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 . Counting down the best ALMA Observatory discoveries with Phil Plait Nan Janney | 28 December 2019 2019 has been a spectacular year of discovery for all of astronomy, and radio astronomy in particular.The public got The Coolest Part of Astronomy Dr. Lisa Shannon Locke | 7 November 2019 Long, long ago… or if you re an astronomer, far, far away… STARS EMIT LIGHTStars, galaxies, even dust and complex Road Tripping Nan Janney | 30 August 2019 If you take U.S. Highway 60 west out of Socorro, in fifty miles you’ll bump into the Very Large ALMA: Visit to an Alien World Brian Koberlein | 13 August 2019 Standing at the high site of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array is like standing on another world. Sandy gravel #RADIOIMAGEOFTHEWEEK A Wobbling Jet Inside the famous Manatee Nebula (W50) lies the black hole remnant of the supernova that formed it, called SS 433. Its jets wobble as they force charged particles outward. Over time, this creates a swirling tracer pattern to the radio waves picked up by the Very Large Array (VLA). Explore Role Models Hear from folks who work at NRAO about the many paths we ve taken to get here. You don’t have to be a scientist or engineer to be part of our exciting mission! Learn Black Holes Neither a hole nor really black, a stellar black hole is actually the superdense remains of a very big star that imploded, violently collapsing in on itself, during a supernova. Learn Dark Matter To balance their speeds out to those distances from their massive central cores, the galaxies must be made of more stuff than just that which we can detect. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundationoperated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc. Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..." AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
