Announcement

With construction and basic commissioning of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) drawing to a close, the Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) will issue a Call for Proposals for Cycle 3 on 24 March 2015. The deadline is expected to be on 23 April 2015, with observations starting in October 2015. To prepare the local astronomical community for Cycle 3, the German ARC node organizes the German ALMA Community Days & Proposal Workshop 2015 at the Argelander-Institut für Astronomie in Bonn on 25-27 March 2015. The first day will feature a brief introduction to the basic radio astromonical concepts and terminology for non-radio astronomers. On the second day, several talks will highlight recent scientific results obtained with ALMA, before ALMA's capabilities in Cycle 3, ALMA procedures, ALMA tools and the available help will be presented. The third day will be dedicated to hands-on work in workshops for novice users as well as for advanced users. During these workshops, participants can start to prepare their own ALMA proposals with technical support from experts.
