The Green Bank Ammonia Survey (GAS) is an ambitious legacy survey to map emission from the 23 GHz NH3 inversion transitions toward all the northern Gould Belt star forming regions with Av > 7. The Gould Belt is a ring of young stars and star-forming regions that contains nearly all the ongoing, predominantly low-mass star […]
Eight ultra-fast bursts lasted only ten millionths of a second or less An international team of researchers have discovered radio pulses from the distant universe that last only millionths of a second. They found these microsecond bursts after a meticulous examination of archival data from the National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Telescope. It’s unclear how […]
