Summer Student Observations
The VLA is in its CnB and C configurations this summer.
Some telescope time will be allocated to the summer students
to pursue group projects.
Note that last summer one of the NRAO student projects resulted in an
exciting discovery of the first radio emission detected from a brown
dwarf star! This discovery resulted in a paper in Nature. More details
are available on the NRAO press release web page.
