  • GOTHAM Data

    GOTHAM is a broadband spectral line survey of the cold core Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 (TMC-1) Cyanopolyyne Peak with the Green Bank Telescope. Its primary goal is to investigate the chemical conditions of this region, characterized by dark cloud chemistry rich in unsaturated long-carbon-chain and aromatic molecules. Acknowledgement For publications that make use of these data…


  • GBT at Full azimuth Slew Rate

    The GBT has returned to the regular full azimuth slew rate.


  • RH8 UPGRADE COMPLETE

    The Green Bank Observatory has finished the process of upgrading to Red Hat 8 (RH8). Observations can again be done with either machine Ariel or Titania!


  • MUSTANG CLASH Data (pending)

  • Ku-Band TCal values updated

    The default TCal values used for standard calibration have been updated for the Ku-Band receiver. 


  • 25A Semester

    Proposal Call The Green Bank Observatory (GBO) invites scientists to participate in the 2025A Semester Call for Proposals for the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The submission deadline for Semester 2025a proposals is Wednesday, 31 July 2024, at 17:00 EDT (21:00 UTC). The deadline is for the 25A semester observing period on the GBT: 1 February…


  • 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.


  • Massive Stars Born from Violent Cosmic Collapse

    Astronomers using the U.S. National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope reveal new process of star formation, challenging existing models Controlled chaos is a key part of forming massive stars. An international team of astronomers has observed evidence that massive stars can be born from rapidly collapsing clouds of gas and dust, challenging long-held assumptions about…
