Norwegian ALMA Day 2019

Wondering if ALMA could be used for your research? Find out more at the Norwegian ALMA Day 2019, Thursday, April 4, 2019, at the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics in Oslo (Ullevål).

The call for proposals for observing time in ALMA Cycle 7 will be announced on March 19, 2019, with a proposal deadline of  April 17, 2019.  See here for more details.

Tobia Carozzi from the Nordic ALMA Regional Center (ARC) node in Onsala, Sweden, is going to visit the University of Oslo for a day and will be available for supporting everybody who is interested in observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA).

You do not need to be an expert at all. Maybe ALMA could be interesting for your research without you being aware of its capabilities?

Message from the Nordic ARC node (updated from 2018)

The Nordic ARC node will visit Norway to provide direct proposal preparation support. After a short presentation on ALMA Cycle 6 capabilities and the support the ARC node offers, we will be available for individual support.

In order to make ALMA accessible to non-experts and astronomers traditionally active in other wavelength regimes, we provide support in all aspects of ALMA projects:

  • Science development: you have an idea, can ALMA do it? What can ALMA do for your science? We will help you explore ALMA for your science!
  • The ALMA Observing Tool (OT): The OT is used for creating and submitting your ALMA project. We will help you with all aspects of the OT, including the technical setup, and the text for the technical justification!
  • Archive research: ALMA data supporting your project may already exist in the archive. We will help you explore and view data from the ALMA archive!
  • ALMA simulator: ALMA simulators allow you to predict in a realistic way what your proposed observations will look like when observed with ALMA, and strengthen your proposal. We will help you simulate your project with the available ALMA simulators!
  • Final check and submission: We will guide your project throughout the proposal period, give it a final check, and guide you through submission!


Support will be provided both through

  • individual, in-office support: an ARC node representative will sit at your desk to work on your proposal, and
  • group-meeting support: an ARC node representative will attend your group meeting on the day of the visit to discuss proposals with you.


If possible, please indicate your interest in meeting with us in Oslo during the Norwegian ALMA Day 2019 by sending an email to contact@nordic-alma.se.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

With kind regards,
The Nordic ARC node
