GREEN BANK TELESCOPE ARCHIVE
GREEN BANK TELESCOPE SOFTWARE

All data, taken as part of instrument calibration, engineering or software testing are immediately public with no proprietary period. Additonally, some Rapid Response Science proposals, in particular “Exploratory Time” and “Target of Opportunity”, have shorter proprietary periods. multi-epoch monitoring projects or projects that require several VLA configurations) the default proprietary period may be lengthened by the NRAO Time Allocation Commitee. This proprietary period is 12 months following the last observation. These data are reserved for the exclusive use of the observing team for a fixed period after the last observing session of a project has been completed.

GREEN BANK TELESCOPE ARCHIVE

The archive contains the raw data: GBT files in FITS binary table format, export files from the VLA, and FITS-IDI files from the VLBA, including correlated data from any non-VLBA telescopes that have been used in conjunction with the VLBA. 1) has an off-axis parabolic design with an unblocked aperture, which results in higher aperture efficiency and a cleaner diffraction pattern (which enables high-fidelity mapping), minimizes out-of-beam radio frequency interference (RFI), and avoids reflections that can compromise. Public GBO data reduction computers: Public linux machines for data processing.Īll scientific data from NRAO and GBO telescopes are stored in an archive (with the current exception of some pulsar data taken with the GBT’s GUPPI backend).Submit a helpdesk ticket for access to archival GBT data. The AAT can be used to search for the availability of data, but not for data retrieval. Data Archive: The Archive Access Tool (AAT) provided by NRAO is currently not working.DSPSR: Yet another third-party tool for analyzing pulsar data that is particularly useful for processing baseband voltage data.2 The Green Bank site was part of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) until September 30, 2016. PSRCHIVE: Another third-party suite of pulsar data analysis tools that is particularly useful for GUPPI and VEGAS data in the PSRFITS format. Byrd Green Bank Telescope ( GBT) in Green Bank, West Virginia, US is the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope, 1 surpassing the Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope in Germany.PRESTO: A third-party suite of pulsar data analysis tools.CASA: Common Astronomical Software Applications (NRAO-supported tool).GBT Pipeline: Python-based routine for processing large spectral line and continuum data sets and making maps.GBTIDL: IDL suite for analysis of spectral line data. General Mailing Address Green Bank Observatory 155 Observatory Rd P.O.The tools below include GBO and third-party software packages for analyzing GBT data.
