Science and Software Tools
The following software tools are being developed to facilitate the preparation and submission of proposals, the scheduling of observations, and the reduction and analysis of data:
|
The ALMA Sensitivity Calculator is the
tool for estimating integration time.
|
|
The Observing Tool (OT) is the proposal
(Phase I) and observation (Phase
II) preparation tool.
|
|
Common Astronomy Software Applications
(CASA) is the offline data reduction and analysis
tool. The training manuals for CASA are available
at this link.
|
|
Simdata is a simulator task built into the
CASA data reductions package. CASA includes files
of the ALMA array configurations so that
investigators can simulate ALMA observations. To
access this capability, download and install the
current CASA Release.

|
Splatalogue is a database containing
frequencies of atomic and molecular transitions
which emit in the radio through submillimeter
wavelength range.
