16 - 18 January 2017

Queen's Building, Cardiff University

Cardiff, United Kingdom

For five years, ALMA has been producing science images of astronomical objects ranging from nearby stellar dust discs to high-redshift gravitational lenses. Many observers have acquired their own ALMA data, and other astronomers can access data from the ALMA archive. The goal of this workshop is to help people make the most of their ALMA data. The workshop will primarily focus on hands-on data processing activities, but the agenda will also include a brief review of ALMA's current capabilities; descriptions of setting up, tracking, and downloading ALMA observations; and a discussion of ways to test the reliability of ALMA data.

Although this workshop is primarily intended for people at Cardiff University, people from other universities are welcome to attend.  Atendees may choose to either bring their own ALMA data, use ALMA data from the archive, or use one of the examples that we will prepare in advance.  Please download your data in advance or arrange to have your data downloaded before coming to the workshop; the organizers can help you with this if necessary.
