GBT SCIENCE WORKSHOP GBT SCIENCE WORKSHOPA two-part workshop sharply focused on the first observations to be made with the GBT will take place in Green Bank from 1998 July 27 through 29. At least two days will be devoted to astronomical observations with the GBT, and part of the third day will cover telescope commissioning.
The workshop will begin with a tour of the GBT and status reports on the antenna, receivers, backends, software, and operations. Potential users are encouraged to discuss their planned observations, present the scientific rationale for them, describe their technical requirements, and suggest improvements for NRAO support. Groups of observers with common interests in large programs which can be scheduled immediately after commissioning (e.g. HI or pulsar surveys) may wish to meet and plan joint proposals.
Some astronomers have also expressed an interest in the GBT commissioning observations. The third day of the workshop will cover the observations and measurements needed to characterize and improve the astronomical use of the GBT.
