Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Expanded Very Large Array Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope Very Long Baseline Array NRAO: Enabling Forefront Research Fred K. Y. Lo Director

3 NRAO in Forefront Facilities, under Open Skies policy Complement HST, Chandra, Herschel, SOFIA, Gaia, LSST, JWST, GSMT, LIGO,… 3 EVLA VLBAALMA GBT

Implementing NWNH goals Indispensable for addressing many key science questions – Enhanced user support for ALMA, EVLA, VLBA and GBT NA ALMA Science Center in CV Array Science Center in SO GB Science Ops in GB Towards the future – Help realize NWNH highly ranked mid-scale projects NANOGrav, PAPER/HERA, FASR – Develop current facilities to maintain best performance – CDL: long term R+D for next generation facilities e.g. Digital backend; Signal Processing; design towards manufacturing… 4 NRAO Program Review - December 19-20, 2011

Highlights EVLA Early Science started 30 September 2010 – ApJL Special Issue published September 2011 ALMA Early Science started 30 September 2011 – First datasets just delivered GBT: 2 nd generation instrumentation – λ 3.5mm receiver, λ 1cm FPA, λ 3mm MUSTANG – GUPPI and VEGAS VLBA: – Software correlator – Increased BW to 2 Gbps: higher sensitivity – New 4-8 GHz receivers NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January 20125

Science with NRAO Telescopes 1Star Formation Crystal Brogan 2Galaxy Evolution Adam Leroy 3 Observing with NRAO Telescopes Dale Frail NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January 20126

EVLA New name to recognize the dramatic new capabilities of the transformed VLA Public call for nominations for new name – mid-October to 1 December 2011 Extensive world wide news coverage 23,331 suggestions submitted by 17,023 people from more than 65 countries; – The number of unique names submitted was 16,223 NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January New name that becomes official at dedication ceremony on 31 March 2012 Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (Jansky VLA) Personal favorite is the suggestion by Roger Blandford: Fabulous Radio Extragalactic Device (FRED)

1932: Beginning of Radio Astronomy Karl Jansky, studying static from thunderstorms at Bell Labs, discovered radio waves from the center of Milky Way
