ALMA Cycle 13 preparation day 27 March – new web-based Observing Tool

The ALMA Cycle 13 proposal deadline is approaching fast! The anticipated release of the Call for Proposals is March 19, and the expected proposal deadline is planned for April 23.

A major change compared to previous cycle is the brand-new web-based Observing Tool. Your old OT will not work any more, and handling AOT files and sharing proposals between collaborators will be different this Cycle. This will come with a bit of a learning curve, so we encourage all users – including ALMA experts – to try it out well in advance of the deadline.

More details in the pre-announcement: https://www.eso.org/sci/facilities/alma/news/announcements/alma-ann261201e1.htmlAs Allegro, we are organizing the ALMA Cycle 13 preparation day, scheduled for March 27 at 13:00-16:30 in BW0.30, Gorlaeus Building, Leiden. This will be a hybrid meeting with online participation possible. During the meeting, Allegro staff will present key updates and capabilities offered in ALMA Cycle 13, followed by a hands-on session on the proposal tool. This is a great opportunity for first-time observers to get to know the ins-and-outs of ALMA proposal preparation, as well as for experienced user to get up to date on the new tools and capabilities. We are looking forward to see you there!
