Green Bank Observatory 2020B Science Program
A total of 82 proposals requesting NSF funded “open skies” time were submitted to the Green Bank Observatory’s Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) for the February 3, 2020 semester 20B deadline . The table below summarizes the approved observing programs. Listed are the PI name, proposal ID, proposal title, maximum hours approved and proposal type (Regular, Triggered, Large or External). Proposals from previous semesters that were awarded time in the 20B semester are included. The table also includes HSA and GMVA proposals that were awarded time on the GBT as a VLBI station as well as proposal accepted via external agreements with CHANDRA, Hubble Space Telescope, FERMI and Swift.
For each approved program, the Proposal Finder Tool will have access to its author, title, abstract and total approved hours.
A description of the Time Allocation Committee report for 20B can be found at 2020b Proposal Results
