For approved observing proposals, "phase II" products (the execution scripts that conduct the observations on the array) must be generated before the project can be submitted to the observing queue. These products comprise one or more "Scheduling Blocks" (SBs).
For ALMA Cycle 0, ALMA staff will generate these phase II materials, and each project will be assigned to a "Contact Scientist" at one of the regional ARCs or ARC nodes. The Contact Scientists will contact the PI and arrange a time to review the phase II materials and obtain their approval. Phase II materials for all "Highest Priority" Cycle0 projects were prepared over 3 separate time periods between September 2011 and March 2012.
[UPDATE MARCH 2012]: ALMA Cycle 0 has been extended by 5 months (see news item on the ALMA Science Portal). This increases the likelihood of needing SBs for low frequency science observations (ALMA Bands 3 and Bands 6). Therefore, the low-frequency SBs of "Filler" projects with either Band 3 or Band 6 components will be prepared and added to the observing queue. The time frame for preparing these SBs is May 1-30, 2012. The ARC Contact Scientists will notify the PIs of eligible projects when their phase II products are ready for review. SBs for the higher frequency components of "Filler" projects will not be prepared at this time.
Filler projects are only eligible for being observed if there are no "Highest Priority" projects available that match the available observing conditions.
See financial support for information about the NAASC's visitor travel support program.
The NAASC anticipates being able to provide funds to support a limited number of students enrolled at U.S. universities and colleges who undertake research programs based on the Highest Priority ALMA Cycle 0 Projects. Go to the NRAO student observing support page for further details.
Further Questions
Investigators who have questions about any of the above should submit a helpdesk ticket. The ticket should include the both program code and the name of the program Contact Scientist.
