Ryan Loomis,Charlottesville,rloomis@nrao.edu,Regularized Maximum Likelihood (RML) imaging of ALMA data,Assistant Scientist,None,"Ian Czekala (PSU) and I recently had an ALMA development study accepted to investigate the application of RML imaging techniques to ALMA observations of spectral lines. We have already successfully applied our ""Million Points of Light"" (MPoL) software implementation of RML to data from the ALMA large program MAPS, imaging gas kinematics of protoplanetary disks. 

In this talk, I will first briefly introduce the theoretical framework behind RML and discuss some of the key distinctions on how these methods have evolved from the initial maximum likelihood and maximum entropy approaches, first introduced almost 35 years ago. I will then highlight our application of RML to MAPS data, comparing these results with our tclean analysis, and discuss our future directions for the development study."
Jay Lockman,Green Bank,jlockman@nrao.edu,Cold Gas in the Milky Way's Nuclear Wind,Astronomer,Some preference for Oct 9,

Paulo C. Cortes,Chile,paulo.cortes@alma.cl,Magnetic field tomography in NGC6334,Scientist,October 9,"Observation of polarized dust emission and molecular dust emission allow us to obtain a detailed picture of NGC6334I_N, where we found a clear hourglass shape for the magnetic field. This is work in progress."
Paulo C. Cortes,Chile,paulo.cortes@alma.cl,Mosaicking of the magnetic field in Orion KL,Scientist,October 9,Here we present the first mosaic of polarized dust emission done with ALMA in OrionKL bands 3 and 6. This is also work in progress.
David Rebolledo,Chile,david.rebolledo@alma.cl,Global view of the radio continuum emission in Carina Nebula,ALMA Postdoc,Available from October,"I will like to present an update on the 2 GHz radio image of the Carina Nebula I have created from observations using the Australia Telescope Compact Array.  Several challenging issues appeared during calibration and imaging, and they were needed to be solved in order to get the final image. I would like to present this map to experts, specially at the VLA.  The goal will be to obtain feedback and ideas about alternative imaging approaches, and also potential science that can be obtained from such as spectacular image."
Allison Matthews,Charlottesville,amm4ws@virginia.edu,P(D) radio source counts and the star formation history of the universe,Graduate Student,"Oct. 9, 23",
Carilli and Thyagarjan,Charlottesville,ccarilli@nrao.edu,a new method to visualize and measure closure phase in the image plane,,After September,We will jointly discuss our paper on a new method to visualize and measure closure phase in the image plane.
Mark Lacy,Charlottesville,mlacy@nrao.edu,VLASS Science Update,VLASS Project Scientist,Any,"The VLA Sky Survey has now complete its first epoch of observing the entire sky visible to the VLA and is starting its second. I will discuss early science results from VLASS on topics ranging from transient radio sources to giant radio galaxies, including the surprisingly large population of highly-variable radio AGN found by comparing FIRST to VLASS."
Loreto Barcos Munoz,Charlottesville,lbarcos@nrao.edu,Gas in Luminour Infrared Galaxies at GMC scales,,November or December would work for me,
Megan Lewis,New Mexico,mlewis@nrao.edu,"Overview and status update on the BAaDE project, a Galactic Plane survey of thousands of SiO masers, including results from the VLA and ALMA.",Reber fellow,"Dec 4 preferred, Nov 20 is second best, but other dates are also fine",
Ryan Lynch,Green Bank,rlynch@nrao.edu,"I'll provide an update on the Green Bank North Celestial Cap pulsar survey, which is a large-area pulsar survey with the GBT that I collaborate on.  The survey has discovered close to 200 pulsars and should be wrapping up in the next year or two.",Associate Scientist,Would prefer on or after Nov 13,
Charles Romero,Green Bank,cromero@gmail.com,Thermodynamic evolution of galaxy clusters,,November 20th or later,
Genie Hsieh,New Mexico,mhsieh@nrao.edu,Efficient Adaptive-Scale CLEAN Deconvolution in CASA for Radio Interferometric Images,Software Engineer,Any time after 2/5/2021,"Scale sensitive solvers are widely used for accurate reconstruction of extended emission in 
radio astronomy. The Adaptive Scale Pixel decomposition (Asp) algorithm models the sky 
brightness by adaptively determining the optimal scales. It thus gives a significantly better 
imaging performance, but at a cost of significantly increased computational time. In this talk, 
we described an improved Asp-Clean algorithm which achieves more than 30x speed up comparing to the original Asp-Clean algorithm. It is also combined with the scale-insensitive Hogbom CLEAN algorithm to achieve even better computational efficiency for both compact and diffuse emission. We implemented the algorithm in CASA and applied it to data sets from EVLA and ALMA telescopes. 
We show that this algorithm has performed better than the widely used MS-Clean algorithm without the need for an expensive automasking algorithm in the ALMA imaging pipeline."
