ALMA Session
INS1 Evolution with ALMA - first science results on the cool universe
We will run a stall for the whole duration of NAM/AG, providing information about ALMA and hands-oh help with ALMA software and proposal preparation.
Evolution with ALMA - first science results on the cool universe
ALMA is the most ambitious ground-based telescope in operation, sensitive to mm and sub-mm wavelengths which are absorbed by water vapour at sea level. When complete (in 2013) it will comprise 66 antennas; currently at least 16 are being used for science operations. The first Cycle 0 science results will be presented, such as on stellar and planetary evolution, star formation and distant galaxies associated with intense star formation. Speakers will present ALMA science results and capabilities. The ALMA session and also a lunchtime meeting will update the astronomical community on ALMA construction progress and the support available for prospective ALMA users including preparation for the Cycle 1 deadline.
