ALMA Data Reduction Workshop at the Harvard–Smithsonian, Center for Astrophysics

NRAO Live! Event at the University of Wisconsin in Madison

 

Date: October 29, 2024
Time: 9am - 5pm
Location: Pratt Conference Room, Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St, Cambridge 02138

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and ALMA Ambassadors cordially invite you to an ALMA Data Processing Workshop. This event is designed for all astronomers, from seasoned ALMA users to those who do not regularly utilize radio data in their research or have no radio background. We encourage participation from graduate students and junior postdocs, but we welcome astronomers at all levels of experience. The one-day workshop will provide an overview of ALMA interferometric data processing and analysis, including: imaging and self-calibration with CASA, imaging array combinations, and data visualization with CARTA.

Registration is free, but we'd greatly appreciate it if you could sign up before October 22nd (5pm) so that we have an accurate count for lunches. If you register after this date, we will not be able to provide lunch. Registration is also first-come-first-serve and we are strictly limited to 30 participants. You will receive confirmation of registration after you have applied. If your plans change, please let Josh know directly via email if you are no longer able to attend so that your registration can be re-allocated.

We look forward to seeing you at the CfA!
