The NRAO has conducted a summer student research program since 1959, with over 1000 participants to date. What are NRAO Summer Student Research Assistantships? Ransom of NRAO and Physics728, Radio Astronomy by Dale Gary ( NJIT dept. Two on-line courses on Radio Astronomy are available: Essential Radio Astronomy by J.J. For more information, the NRAO has an introduction to Radio Astronomy JPL has produced a useful Primer, and MIT Haystack Observatory has an instructive Radio Astronomy Tutorial. Radio astronomy is the study of astronomical objects through radiation emitted at radio wavelengths (wavelengths longer than about 1mm, or frequencies lower than about 300 GHz). Maps and directions to the sites are found at. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the world's largest fully steerable single aperture telescope. The GBO is located in Green Bank, West Virginia and is the site of the Robert C. Our site in Socorro, New Mexico, hosts the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA) and Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA).Ĭharlottesville, Virginia, is the site of NRAO Headquarters as well as the North American ALMA Science Center, located on the Grounds of the University of Virginia (UVa), and the NRAO Technology Center which houses the Central Development Laboratory, a leading center for radio instrumentation and radio telescope design. NRAO is a partner in operating the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. The NRAO has facilities for radio astronomical research in New Mexico and Virginia, and coordinates summer programs with the GBO in West Virginia. We are also involved in cutting edge astronomical research, and in the design, development and manufacture of radio astronomy instrumentation and telescopes NRAO receivers are deployed from the South Pole to beyond the Moon. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and Green Bank Observatory (GBO) provide state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by scientists from around the world.
The list of former NRAO summer students includes people who represent a wide range of careers, research interests, geographic locations, and backgrounds. Since its inception in 1959, the NRAO Summer Student Research Assistantship program has engaged over 1,000 young people in scientific research, and many of our summer students have gone on to distinguished careers in astronomy, physics, and other sciences.
