  • GBT at 3/4 azimuth Slew Rate

    Three more azimuth wheels have been replaced during this summer maintenance period. Wheel inspection shows no advanced signs of fatigue in the remaining wheels. The restriction to 1/2 azimuth slew rate has been lifted and the GBT is now moving at 3/4 azimuth slew rate.


  • Use Ariel for GBT Observations

    The Green Bank Observatory is in the process of upgrading to Red Hat 8 (RH8). We are in the next phase of the process and observations now need to be done with the current RH8 machine Ariel! 


  • Telescope Tag-Team Discovers Galactic Cluster’s Bizarre Secrets

    Towards the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, in the constellation Sagittarius, astronomers have discovered 10 monstrous neutron stars. Astronomers already knew that 39 pulsars call Terzan 5 home. With the teamwork of the U.S. National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope (NSF GBT) and the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory’s MeerKAT Telescope, ten more have…


  • HI-MaNGA Data

    HI-MaNGA is a 21cm follow-up program for the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey, a survey of 10,010 unique galaxies with an Integral Field Unit (for resolved optical spectroscopy). The primary goal of HI-MaNGA is to observe all z<0.05 MaNGA galaxies with the Green Bank Telescope which lack HI data from other sources. Acknowledgement For publications that make use…


  • 25A Semester

    Semester 2025A Call for Proposals for the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is now closed. Disposition Letters will be sent on 05 November, 2024


  • DiSCo Data (pending)

    Dynamics in Star-forming Cores The DiSCo survey will address a key open question in star formation: the origin and distribution of angular momenta of star-forming cores. Our broad statistical approach is essential to understanding the range of intrinsic behavior, the statistically most common behaviors, and how those behaviors correlate with stellar outcome and environment. By…
