Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Expanded Very Large Array Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope Very Long Baseline Array Preparing for ALMA National Radio Astronomy Observatory North America ALMA Science Center Charlottesville, Virginia U.S.

Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Expanded Very Large Array Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope Very Long Baseline Array ALMA from the Users’ Perspective Kelsey Johnson University of Virginia / NRAO

ALMA Check out “Design Reference Science Plans” (DRSPs) Think outside the box Play with the ALMA tools! 4Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Step 1: Thinking of Proposing

ALMA Step 1: Thinking of Proposing  tools to help refine your ideas: Splatalogue 5Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Determine which species and transitions are the best diagnostics for your sciences Look up line strengths & frequencies Think about best band(s) What other cool lines are there?

ALMA 6Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Step 1: Thinking of Proposing  tools to help refine your ideas: Sensitivity Calculator Estimate observing time Customize # of antennas Vary conditions

ALMA 7Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Calculate visibilities Calculate total power observation Add noise Re-image the data Analyze the difference between output and input images Step 1: Thinking of Proposing  tools to help refine your ideas: Simulator

ALMA Step 2: Proposal Preparation:  The Observing Tool (OT) 8Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Visualize pointings See fields-of-view Determine spectra set-up Generate schedule blocks Standard proposal functions

ALMA Step 2: Proposal Preparation 9Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Info & FAQs on helpdesk portal Support from NAASC staff

ALMA Step 3: Proposal Review 10Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 International TAC (North America, East Asia, Europe; Chile TBD) Face-to-face meetings Twice per year (at least initially) Proposals ranked, then merged programs drained from queue w.r.t. weather, R.A., etc Some DD time ~ 5% “Open Skies” time distributed up to 5% Phase 1 & Phase 2

ALMA Step 4: Download “pipeline” data from the archive 11Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Default flagging Basic calibration Cleaned image diagnostics

ALMA Step 5: Analyze data - CASA 12Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Visualize data cubes Overlay multi-wavelength data Measure flux densities Fit sources Generate publication images

ALMA Step 6: Write cutting edge paper! 13Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 Cutting edge capabilities = amazing science best ideas yet to come Universe’s most fascinating object revealed by ALMA I.M. Famous, B. A. Collaborator, O. Postdoc, et al. Nature 123, , April 2012 FIGURE 1. Multi-wavelength images of the coolest thing since sliced-bread

ALMA Take home points 14Preparing for ALMA: 24 May 2010 This is your observatory NAASC is here to help you To get started: -- NAASC tutorials -- On-line tutorials -- Science workshops Call for proposals end of 2010 Be EXCITED!
