Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Located at 5100m on the Chajnantor Plateau in Chile, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) is the most advanced (sub)millimetre interferometer in the World. Since its Early Science Operations in 2010, ALMA is reshaping our current view of the Universe at millimeter wavelengths with a series of revolutionizing and groundbreaking results. Thanks to its enhanced sensitivity and resolution ALMA is bringing a new perspective of the continuum and molecular emission across all scales, from the nearest Solar System objects, near and far star-forming regions, AGB stars, galaxies, to the furthest high-redshift objects in the Universe. As part of this seminar, we will discuss some of the most important results of the decade. From the analysis of these papers participants will get familiar with the use and new capabilities of ALMA and its potential impact for future research in the radio domain. This course is open for both PhDs and Master students.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participants will choose and study a high-impact ALMA paper of their interest from any astronomical area (cosmology, extragalactic, ISM, AGB stars, proto-planetary disks, solar system...). Each participant will prepare a presentation including the specific observational setup and ALMA techniques, the data analysis, and the relevance of their results. Additional technical presentations will be prepared by the lecturers and invited ALMA experts. Students will be evaluated according to the quality of their presentations, their engagements on the lectures, and the active participation on other talks and discussions.
