UWM Astronomy Club Students Receive Training in Pulsar Searching
Several UWM physics students, CGCA postdoctoral researchers, and CGCA professors are members of the Green Bank North Celestial Cap (GBNCC) pulsar survey. The GBNCC collaboration is searching for pulsars in all parts of the sky that can be observed by the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia. The GBT is the largest steerable radio telescope in the world; the famous Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico is larger, but cannot be steered.
