SUMMARY:October Observer Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:\nOctober 8 – 10, 2024 – Virtual GBT Observer Training Workshop\n\n\n\nThe GBT Training Workshop will include three days of intensive instruction on how to observe with the Green Bank Telescope. Applications will be open from June 7 – September 6, 2024, and applicants will be informed of their acceptance by September 20. \n\n\n\nRemember, this is a Virtual Event. No attendees will visit Green Bank in person for the workshop.\n\n\n\nThis remote workshop is open to GBT Observers and the professional scientific community. We are unfortunately unable to accommodate amateur astronomers in this training.\n\n\n\nThe Green Bank Telescope (GBT) Remote Observer Training Workshop will provide the essential skills and knowledge needed to use the GBT and maximize its scientific output. It is intended for experienced astronomers who need to learn the specifics of observing with the GBT. After completing the workshop, an attendee will be certified to use the GBT as a remote observer. The workshop will focus on hands-on training in the observing techniques most relevant to participants (e.g. high frequency map, continuum, pulsar, etc.).\n\n\n\nBy filling out this registration form, you are applying to participate in the October 2024 Remote GBT Training Workshop. In order to give every participant adequate experience controlling the GBT as part of their training, we have a limited number of spaces available. If we have more applicants than spaces available, we will prioritize attendance by (1) applicants with GBT projects in the 24B semester beginning in August 2024, (2) applicants with GBT proposals under review, (3) applicants looking to gain understanding of the GBT before submitting a proposal in a future call, (4) all other applicants.\n\n\n\nThese workshops are typically held in person twice times a year, though the October workshop will be held entirely virtually. We are planning to have our next in-person GBT training workshop in Spring 2025.\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\nThe workshop will begin on the morning of Tuesday, October 8 and end on the afternoon of Thursday, October 10. An example schedule from a previous workshop can be seen at this link.\n\n\n\nThis workshop is meant to provide attendees with the tools to observe with the Green Bank Telescope. We will not include an in depth background on single dish radio astronomy. The next GBT Training Workshop beyond October 2024 will be held in Green Bank in Spring 2025. Our next Single Dish Summer School will take place in Summer 2026.\n\n\n\nUse the Register button to express your interest in this event.\n\n\n\nOdds and Ends\n\n\n\nQuestions may be directed to Will Armentrout (warmentr@nrao.edu)\n\n                function masterqrCurrentPAge(){new QRCode(document.getElementById("masterqrPost"),{text: "https://greenbankobservatory.org", width: 133, height: 133, colorDark: "#000000", colorLight:"#ffffff", PI: "#000000", PO: "#000000", AI: "#000000", AO: "#000000", PI_TL: "#000000", PO_TL: "#000000", logo: "", logoWidth: 55, logoHeight: 55, logoBackgroundTransparent: true, backgroundImage: "", dotScale: "0.6", timing: "#000000", timing_V: "#000000", backgroundImageAlpha: "0.3",});}masterqrCurrentPAge();
