DON'T BE
AFRAID OF THE DARK!! The Quasar
Variability Study: QVS NSC Campaign#1 Focus Is: ŇA Search for Blinking Black Holes!" This initial
QVS Campaign involves an international collaboration of scientists led by
Primary Investigator, Dr. Hayley Bignall, who is utilizing the NanŤay
Radio Telescope (NRT), in NanŤay, France. Our Co-Primary Investigators, Dr. David Jauncey from CSRIO in Australia and Dr. Michael
Klein from NASA/JPL, will supervise the GAVRT students collecting
data on the DSS-12 antenna. |

QVS
We have an
exciting new opportunity to share with you. We are part of a brand new
campaign focusing on the study ofquasars. This initial campaignis
entitled QVS-The Northern Spring Campaign: ŇA Search for Blinking
Black Holes!Ó. We are conducting
a study of six variable quasars under the direction of renowned Australian
scientist, Dr. David Jauncey, and in coordination with Dr. Hayley Bignall, who is our Primary Investigator with the NanŤay Radio Telescope
(NRT), in NanŤay, France. This is the initial campaign in a continuing series
of studies focusing on quasars and encompassing a number of wavelengths and
collaborations. This new campaign will begin on February 23rd and run through
April 9th. The purpose of this campaign is to investigate refractive
interstellar scintillation timescales of these sources, which have all been
observed to exhibit large intra-day variations. GAVRT can provide
extremely valuable data at both x and s-band frequencies, which fall
in-between the microwave frequencies that will be observed at the NRT in
France. |
