ALMA Science and Proposals Workshop

ALMA Science and Proposals Workshop

25-27 February 2019 - Istituto di Radioastronomia Bologna, Italy

In view of the upcoming ALMA Cycle 7 proposal submission deadline on 18 April 2019, the Italian node of the European ALMA Regional Centre organizes a mini-workshop to bring together actual and potential ALMA users. It will be an opportunity to hear the latest scientific results and to start thinking about possible proposals and share ideas.

We encourage in particular PhD students and young researchers to attend.

We will have presentations by astronomers from the Italian community, reviewing ALMA contributions to a wide range of scientific areas:

• Interstellar Medium: Eugenio Schisano (INAF-IAPS Roma)
• Star Formation: Silvia Leurini (INAF-Oss. Cagliari)
• Evolved Stars: Grazia Umana (INAF-Oss. Catania)
• AGN/Local Universe: Claudia Cicone (INAF-Oss. Brera)
• High-z: Paolo Cassata (DFA-Univ. Padova)
• Galaxy clusters: Myriam Gitti (DIFA-Univ. Bologna)
• Transients: Piergiorgio Casella (INAF-Oss. Roma)

A brief overview of ALMA technical details and of the proposal preparation tools will be also given by the ARC-staff.
