We invite all astronomers to this event!

Event Information:

Dear ASTRO folks,

This event is designed for all astronomers, with a particular goal to reach those that do not yet regularly utilize radio/millimeter data in their research. This one-day workshop will provide a primer on millimeter/radio interferometry and the basics of ALMA, a review of how to design and prepare successful ALMA proposals, and an overview of how best to take advantage of the latest resources developed by NRAO/ALMA (such as pipeline processing and simulating interferometric observations). An interactive session in the afternoon will offer a tutorial for preparing and submitting proposals with the ALMA Observing Tools, where attendees can start to build a foundation for their own Cycle 12 proposals (deadline April 24). Throughout the day, we will feature some of the latest science results from ALMA, including work from members of the McGill community, and offer a preview of the exciting new capabilities of ALMA coming in the next few years.

Topics:

  • ALMA capabilities
  • Wideband Sensitivity Upgrades
  • Intro to radio interferometry
  • Observing Tool, casa, almasim
  • Proposal writing tips
  • Canadian computing resources

A free catered lunch will be provided on-site for registered participants. While attendance for the full day is not required, we hope you will join us for as much of the day as you can. Registration is completely free, but please complete this registration form by March 17 (sooner is better!) so that we can plan for lunch and ensure that the workshop is best tailored to your interests.
