Scientific paper

The Green Bank Telescope (GBT), a new 100 m diameter radio telescope, is under commissioning and early scientific operation. The GBT has a number of novel design features including an unblocked aperture, an active surface, and a precision telescope control system that is designed to allow operation into the 3 mm wavelength range. The unblocked aperture has already paid dividends in high dynamic range images. The active surface has worked very well in its initial operation and has made a substantial improvement in gain and beam quality over a large range of elevation angles. This paper describes the features of the GBT, its status, and some of the early scientific results from the telescope.
