2018.09.26 GBT Astro2020 Astrochemistry Telecon Telecon Participants: --------------------- Brett McGuire David Frayer Arielle Moullet Brett confirm that the white paper plans are the same and is discussing with Toney about the exact roles. Plans are to work on the papers at the upcoming GBT Surveys workshop. ---- Science White Papers Ideas: (1) Non-LTE maser emission processes at low GBT freq (PI Tony -- Tony may write another white paper as well) (2) Cold pre-biotic molecules (led by Brett and Tony) -- combination ngVLA+GBT white paper. (3) Aromatic Chemistry (PI Brett) ---- Discused the plans for the future capabilities of the GBT. https://greenbankobservatory.org/science/future-instrumentation/ The wide-band Pulsar receiver could be used for chemistry (0.7-4GHz) and chemistry survey projects would benefit from the wide-band digital upgrades for our future other receivers. o The next telecon will be in about a month before the surveys workshop.
