Program

The workshop will be from 9am to 5pm on the 27th 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.

Connect with NRAO

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
