ALMA Community Day Event at the University of Maryland
Date: March 21, 2019
Time: 9am - 5:00pm
Location: Physical Sciences Complex, Room 1136, University of Maryland
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and ALMA Ambassadors cordially invite you to an ALMA Proposal Workshop at the University of Maryland. This event is designed for all astronomers, and in particular for those who do not regularly utilize radio data in their research. We encourage participation from graduate students and junior postdocs, but we welcome any astronomer with no radio background to attend. The one-day workshop will provide an overview of ALMA including new capabilities, a brief discussion of mm interferometry, and an overview of the proposal preparation and submission processes. In the afternoon there will be a hands-on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 7 deadline. We will dive into imaging and simulation of ALMA interferometric data using CASA. Lunch will be provided for registered participants.
Registration is free, but note that the number of attendees is limited by the size of the room (max seating for 40 people). We'd greatly appreciate it if you could sign up before March 12th so that we have an accurate count for lunches.
