description: The NOvA experiment has made a $4.4σ$-significant observation of $\barν_{e}$ appearance in a 2 GeV $\barν_μ$ beam at a distance of 810 km. Using $12.33\times10^{20}$ protons on target delivered to the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beamline, the experiment recorded 27 $\barν_μ \rightarrow \barν_{e}$ candidates with a background of 10.3 and 102 $\barν_μ \rightarrow \barν_μ$ candidates. This new antineutrino data is combined with neutrino data to measure the oscillation parameters $|Δm^2_{32}| = 2.48^{+0.11}_{-0.06}\times10^{-3}$ eV$^2/c^4$, $\sin^2 θ_{23} = 0.56^{+0.04}_{-0.03}$ in the normal neutrino mass hierarchy and upper octant and excludes most values near $δ_{\rm CP}=π/2$ for the inverted mass hierarchy by more than 3$σ$. The data favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy by 1.9$σ$ and $θ_{23}$ values in the upper octant by 1.6$σ$.
