Self-calibration and advanced imaging workshop

Workshop on self-calibration and advanced imaging

11-13 December 2017 – Istituto di Radioastronomia Bologna, Italy

The Italian node of the European ALMA Regional Centre organizes a 2-day workshop on self-calibration and advanced imaging, to be held at the INAF-Istituto di Radioastronomia (Bologna, Italy) on 11-13 December 2017. Lectures will be held by Ed Fomalont (NRAO/Chile), Anita Richards (UK ARC Node), and Robert Laing (SKA office, Manchester).

This short workshop aims to obtain a better understanding of self-calibration and advanced imaging techniques, particularly on ALMA data. It will be a unique opportunity for the participants to familiarize themselves with these techniques and to discuss them in an informal way with experts in the field. During the hands-on sessions, participants can possibly work on their own datasets, receiving help from the experts and discussing with the other participants. A “backup” dataset will be also made available. Participation is open to all members of the European ALMA Regional Centre nodes and all interested people working at the Istituto di Radioastronomia.

Program

The tutorial will be run on the local ARC cluster. Access details will be circulated to the participants before the meeting.
The datasets needed for the tutorials are available here: http://www.ira.inaf.it/~paladino/SELFCAL/
