The Italian node of the ALMA Regional Centre is organizing a course for researchers, post-doc and students that are interested in dealing with data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. The aim of the course is to provide basics to approach the ALMA data, being them delivered from the telescope to PIs or mined in the ALMA Science Archive, to use the ALMA tools available, and to understand the process of data reduction, from the raw data to the image production.
The Italian node of the European ALMA Regional Center is pleased to announce a 4-day ALMA data analysis workshop, with the aim to assist users in learning how to (re)process ALMA data, from raw data to the production of calibrated images and data analysis.
 
The program will include lectures to introduce the key concepts in the calibration and imaging of interferometric data, and hands-on sessions which will demonstrate their application in the Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA) package.
 
Participants will be requested to work on their own laptops. Details on CASA versions and data downloads will be communicated later to the registered participants.
 
 
The workshop is open to researchers, post-docs and students interested in working with ALMA data, either their own or taken from the archive. Novice users are welcome!


For this purpose the program will include seminars to introduce ALMA and the fundamentals of interferometry and tutorials on data calibration and imaging with the Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA) package. Participants will be requested to work on their own laptops. Details on CASA versions and data downloads will be communicated later to the registered participants.
