GBT Detects Super-Quiet Repeating Fast Radio Burst
Recently, the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) confirmed the detection of a repeating fast radio burst (FRB). The super-sensitive GBT was able to confirm that the radio burst from FRB 171019, initially detected by the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope, did repeat. This detection lends credence to the theory that almost all fast…

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.…
