NRAO Community Day Events Scheduled in March & April
Alison Peck National Science Foundation
In advance of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Cycle 3 Call for Proposals, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) will be providing Community Day Events (CDEs) at a number of North American institutions. The goal of these CDEs is to provide users with the knowledge they need to carry out cutting-edge scientific research using NRAO facilities. We are particularly interested in reaching new users, so no experience with radio astronomy is required to participate!
NRAO CDEs are one- to two-day events designed in cooperation with host institutions across North America. Participation is free, and no registration fees will be charged. These CDEs include science talks, an introduction to submillimeter interferometry, and hands-on workshops designed to assist you in proposal preparation, observation planning, and data reduction for ALMA Cycle 3. You will need to bring your laptop computer to participate in the hands-on sessions, and we will provide access to the free software that you can download, as well as the small dataset to be used in the demonstrations.
