ALMA Data Reduction Party: Polarization

The North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC) is pleased to announce an ALMA Data Reduction Party on Polarization that will take place March 3-6, 2025 at the North American ALMA Science Center in Charlottesville, Virginia. During this 3.5-day event, NAASC scientists and data analysts will provide focused information and individualized support to a cohort of North American PI or Archival ALMA users who want support to image ALMA polarization data. To facilitate data processing, attendees will be provided access to NRAO computing resources both during and after the workshop; the event is fully in-person, and travel support can be provided upon request. More information here. If you are interested in this opportunity, please apply by the deadline of December 13 at 17:00 ET.

 

ALMA Special Session AAS 245

The NAASC will host a special session 'New perspectives on protoplanetary disks in the era of JWST and the ALMA Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade' at the upcoming 2025 245th Winter AAS Meeting in Washington DC. This special session will present recent high-impact ALMA and JWST results in different subfields of protoplanetary disk studies, and introduces how future synergistic experiments enabled by the transformative capabilities increase from ALMA-WSU will support the next revolution in the field.

The session will include 4 invited talks by M. Van 't Hoff (Purdue University), C. Espaillat (Boston University), K. Pontoppidan  (JPL), K. Zhang (Wisconsin) and a short general presentation of the WSU.

Data Reduction Support

The North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC) provides travel and lodging support during your visit to NRAO headquarters in Charlottesville, VA from investigators of successful ALMA programs or archival researchers.  If you need any help in reducing your data, or just a quiet week away in Central Virginia to finish writing up your next ALMA paper, consider coming for a face-to-face visit to work closely with our data analysts and scientific staff.  For more information and to request a visit, please see https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/alma/facilities/alma/visitors-shortterm and submit a ticket to the face-to-face visits department of the ALMA Helpdesk. Come visit us!
 

Reach out to the NAASC

You can also consult with our EPO team (jmalusky@nrao.edu) to see if your results would have broader public interest and to explore outreach opportunities.

Feedback on ALMA data analysis tools is greatly appreciated. Please communicate any obstacles encountered in the path from data delivery to publication by submitting a Helpdesk ticket. In particular, has a lack of computing resources, software for analysis, visualization, plotting, or other "tools" proven to be a difficulty? NRAO thanks you in advance for your feedback.
