The Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CFSR)
of the
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)
is an international leader in ground-based solar physics and studies of the effects of the Sun on Earth's space and terrestrial environment. The Center operates the
Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO)
and the
Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA)
in California. Both BBSO and OVSA have strong instrumentation programs including such successful efforts as high order adaptive optics, visible light and near infrared polarimetry, and radio imaging spectroscopy. Presently, the group is engaged in building the world's most capable solar telescopes, the
New Solar Telescope (NST),
and the
Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR).
The group is also heavily involved in several space and ground-based experimental investigations of the heliosphere, the magnetosphere, and the ionosphere.
