What to bring & prepare
  • To participate in the tutorial sessions, we ask you to bring a personal laptop and download two software packages before the workshop: CASA and CARTA. Please try to install the software before the workshop. If needed, there will be time during the introduction to download it. I highly recommend installing those before coming to the workshop.
  • For detailed instructions to download and test CARTA and CASA please follow this link: Guide to Install and Test the Software for the ALMA Data Reduction at the JHU 
    Quick links to installation:
  • Note: We will use a dedicated ALMA data set for the tutorials, but you are welcome to try the tasks on your own data or archival data during the workshop. However, if you are new to ALMA data processing, we recommend that you first attempt the methods within either the CARTA/CASA environments using the tutorial dataset (for TW Hya).
Traveling to JHU
  • For those coming in person, the Bloomberg building info is here: Directions to Bloomberg. Room 462 is on the 4th floor, and there will be signs to guide you! There’s paid visitor parking in the San Martin Garage if you're driving. ST employees, you can park in the Muller Deck.
Arriving at JHU
  • We will begin at 9.30 am, but there will be some buffer time in the morning. Feel free to drop in and out of the workshop for various sessions.
  • There will be coffee and tea available all day!
Zoom info
  • The Zoom link will be sent to registered participants via email.

Connect with NRAO

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

Founded in 1956, the NSF NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NSF NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NSF 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. NSF NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (U.S. 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.
