ALMA Cycle 0 period extended

As the completion rate of ALMA Early Science Cycle 0 projects is lower than expected, the observing period will be extended until the end of 2012. The call for Cycle 1 is expected to be around April 2012, with the proposal deadline then being in July 2012.

New Science Verification Datasets online

In order to demonstrate that ALMA is able to produce valid scientific results, several so-called Science Verification observations are made. This is done by comparing ALMA observations of several well-known celestial objects with data from other mm- and sub-mm instruments.

After observation and data reduction, these observations are made publicly available. After the release of five datasets in 2011, another set of datasets is now ready for at the ESO Science Portal.
