Description

This table contains the VESPA/EPNcore metadata table related to the Nançay Decameter Array (NDA) observations.

The NDA is located at the Nançay Radioastronomy Observatory (ORN). It is a phased array of 144 "Teepee" helicoidal antenna, half of which being Right Handed (RH) polarized and the other half being Left Handed (LH) polarized. Four receivers are currently connected to the NDA, sampling data in spectral ranges within 5 to 80 MHz. The NDA mostly observes Solar and Jovian radio emissions. This table contains EPNcore metadata for each product of the NDA data collection.
