DSA-110

The Deep Synoptic Array 110, or DSA-110 is a radio telescope located at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California. The main goal is the study of fast radio bursts, or FRBs. The telescope is an array of 110 dishes, each 4.65 meters in diameter. They continuously survey for FRBs at frequencies in the range of 1280–1530 MHz. A real-time pipeline searches the data from the 95 element core array to generate alerts, and also triggers recordings of the array and 15 outrigger antennas for the purpose of off-line (but more accurate) localization. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation.
