The European ARC Network invites users to an online training on solar observations with ALMA on November 19th, 11:00 CET [Zoom link]. In this tutorial you will learn a specific procedures for calibration & imaging of solar ALMA data downloaded from the ALMA Science Archive.  

 

Data and software requirements will be provided one week before the tutorial. The duration of this training session will be about one hour and will include an interactive Q&A session. For questions do not hesitate to contact the Czech node at barta@asu.cas.cz.

Tutor: Miroslav Bárta

Note: The tutors' presentation will be recorded and an edited version of the recording will be posted in the Science Portal [https://almascience.eso.org/tools/eu-arc-network/i-train] after the session. The interactive Q&A will not be recorded.

Figure: ALMA image of an enormous sunspot was taken at a wavelength of 1.25 millimetres in December 2015. These observations are the first ever made of the Sun with a facility where ESO is a partner. They are an important expansion of the range of observations that can be used to probe the mysterious physics of our nearest star (https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1703a/). Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)
