  • GDIGS-Low — GBT Diffuse Ionized Gas Survey at Low Frequencies

    GDIGS-Low is a survey that will map radio recombination line (RRL) emission at 800 and 340 MHz over the inner Galactic plane (32° > ℓ > -5°). GDIGS-Low is a complement to the GDIGS survey. Through GDIGS-Low we will study the Warm Ionized Medium (WIM) and aim to answer (i) What are the physical properties…


  • MEDIUM — Molecular Exploration of the Diffuse Interstellar mediUM

    Project Abstract (AGBT21B_316) MEDIUM is a GBT Large Project to conduct a comprehensive, unbiased molecular absorption survey of diffuse clouds occulting the distant, centimeter-bright Galactic H II region W49N, with the overarching goals of greatly enlarging the molecular inventory of the diffuse interstellar medium and understanding its molecular complexity. Recent observations have yielded detection of…


  • DEGAS — Dense Extragalactic GBT+Argus Survey


  • EDGE — Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution

    A Representative Survey of the z=0 Universe with Full IFU Spectroscopy Spatially-resolved surveys of galaxies in both the optical and mm-wave bands are crucial to connect local physics to observed global trends and to anchor physical understanding of the processes that shape galaxies. What is sorely needed is such a survey for a galaxy sample…


  • HI-MaNGA

    Overview 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. HI-MaNGA provides valuable information…


  • DiSCo — Dynamics in Star-forming Cores

    A GBT Argus Survey Despite its undisputed importance to understanding disk formation and stellar multiplicity, the kinematics of star-forming cores at scales of 0.01 − 0.05 pc (2,000 – 10,000 AU) have not been well characterized because of a lack of the required sensitivity and high spatial and spectral resolution until now. Building on a…


  • GBNCC — Green Bank North Celestial Cap Survey

    The Green Bank North Celestial Cap (GBNCC) survey is a 350MHz all-sky pulsar survey using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. When complete, the survey will cover the entire sky north of Declination -40° (85% of the celestial sphere). Data taking began in 2009 and processing of GBNCC data, in 2011.…


  • NANOGrav — North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves

    Overview The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves Physics Frontiers Center (NANOGrav PFC) is an international collaboration using ultra-stable millisecond pulsars to detect gravitational waves. NANOGrav observes a pulsar timing array (PTA) of dozens of millisecond pulsars with approximately monthly cadence using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope and the William E. Gordon…
