23 Click on this turn-key to continue 23
24 At any point you can check whether your proposal passes validation Validation is required before proposal can be submitted 24
25 Press on Science Goal tab to create a science goal 25
26 What is a Science Goal in the OT? A science goal is: One correlator / front end setup in one ALMA band spectral windows, rest freq, polarization products, line/continuum modes Subject to one set of control parameters spatial resolution, sensitivity, dynamic range Using one mapping strategy Mosaic or single-pointing And one calibration strategy User or system-defined Applied to an arbitrary set of sky targets (field centers) Each with its own LSR velocity In ES all windows in one science goal must have the same bandwidth and channel spacing 26
27 Describe your science goal if you wish for the technical assessors (not required) Enter in Source name 27
28 Make sure and double check the coordinates. 28
29 Check the velocity used -> observing frequency. 29
30 Click on Spatial Tab to visualize observations Red text indicates incorrect or missing value 30
31 Clicking here opens the visualizer panel Press Query to get the image from pre-loaded servers - or - Load your own image* (Galactic coordinates won t work yet) 31
32 Placing beams on an image (the graphical method) Enter frequency 32
33 For Calibration Set up: Unless you have a strong reason for choosing User-defined calibration, then leave this as Systemdefined calibration. 33
34 Currently supported modes for Cycle 0 Press here to add a line 34
35 e.g. Type in CO A window that can search Splatalogue will open. 35
36 Double click on the transition Now, the line list will be limited to those that can be observed at same time! Transition moves into this window Press here to accept selection 36
37 Your chosen Line is now loaded into the Setup: 37
38 Click on Spectral Tab to visualize observations Atmospheric transmission ALMA Community Day, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, April 20,
39 LO CO line Band 3 LO Range Sidebands Press here to change resolution 39
40 Select correlator mode Trade-off between bandwidth & resolution 40
41 Can add up to 4 spectral windows must have same resolution and bandwidth in Cycle 0 Location of windows is constrained 41
42 Summary: A very versatile tool with lots of options Note that the colors can be changed from the Preferences: 42
43 Request the resolution and sensitivity you need for your Science Goal 43
44 Back to our example of NGC 1097 To get a 10σ detection on the faintest emission in the map requires ~10 mjy/beam in a 10 km/s channel. The ALMA correlator gives km/s channels; we will bin 8 channels to get to 10 km/s. So required sensitivity in one correlator channel ~ 10 mjy/bm * sqrt (8) ~ 28 mjy/beam Nobeyama maps of NGC 1097 (Kohno et al. 2003) 44
45 Back to our example of NGC ~ 110pc Sufficient to resolve the ring Press here to get an idea of how long it will take to do this 45
46 ALMA with 16 x 12m antennas is very fast! BUT be aware that your UV-coverage may not be ideal we recommend that you use simdata to check 46
47 Back to our example of NGC

ALMA is funded in Europe by the European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO), in North America by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in cooperation with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the National Science Council of Taiwan (NSC) and in East Asia by the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) of Japan in cooperation with the Academia Sinica (AS) in Taiwan. ALMA construction and operations are led on behalf of Europe by ESO, on behalf of North America by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), which is managed by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) and on behalf of East Asia by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) provides the unified leadership and management of the construction, commissioning and operation of ALMA. 52
