Program
The workshop will be from 9am to 5pm on the 14th of April, 2023. We will cover topics such as an introduction to ALMA, basics of interferometry, ALMA Cycle 10 capabilities, ALMA Archive and Science Ready Data Products, imaging and simulations in CASA, the Observing Tool, the distributed peer review system, and things to consider when preparing ALMA proposals. The exact time allocation to each topic will vary depending on the interests of the participants. We plan to do a hand-on session in the afternoon using the Observing Tool to prepare ALMA proposals.
