Date: October 18, 2022
Time: 9am - 5pm (EDT)
Location: UMD, College Park

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.

The workshop will be held in a hybrid in-person and virtual format, with the workshop broadcast on Zoom for virtual participants. Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees who register by the deadline. Owing to COVID-19 safety protocols, in-person participation will be limited to 15 individuals. At this time, in-person attendees will be required to wear a face mask.

Note:You must install CASA to participate in the hands-on tutorials. Please see the logistics page for installation/version information.

Talks will be tailored to the needs of registered participants, so please register early and let us know what you're interested to hear! Registration is free.

We look forward to seeing you in-person and online!
