The OVRO 40m 15 GHz Monitoring Program Walter Max-Moerbeck Owens Valley Radio Observatory California Institute of Technology
People Walter Max-Moerbeck Joey Richards Matthew Stevenson Tony Readhead Tim Pearson VasoPavlidou Graduate students
The program ~1200 sources, mostly CGRaBS Observed every 2 days Data since June 2007 Frequency: 15 GHz, 3 GHz bandwidth ~ 5mJy thermal noise + systematic ~2% 2.5’ beam at 15GHz
Purpose • Characterize radio variability • Correlations with gamma activity • Collaboration with multiwavelength campaigns (e.g. 3C454.3, PKS 1502+106) • LAT and other groups too
