National Radio Astronomy Observatory May 17-19, 2006 – NRAO User Committee Meeting North American ALMA Operations and the North American ALMA Science Center Chris Carilli NAASC Head

May 2006 – NRAO Users Committee Meeting NRAO, Socorro, New Mexico ALMA Operations on 1 page (ProjPlan) “The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) is primarily a service organization for conducting the activities in Chile that are required to acquire, certify, and archive the scientific data for the User communities. The interface to ALMA for each of these communities is an ALMA regional center (ARC).” Array Operations Site (AOS), Chajnantor: ALMA array reconfiguration, site security, correlator – modular design to mitigate high-site maintenance Operations Support Facility (OSF), San Pedro: Operate array, select schedule blocks, ensure adequate calibration, quick-look data monitoring, Quality Assurance 0 (AoD), basic module repair, standard antenna maintenance, safety, administration Central Office (Santiago): Pipeline, QA1, Archive, Business, Science office ALMA regional Centers (ARCs), C’ville, ESO, Tokyo: Proposal functions, sched block preparation, basic user support and feedback, archive copy and research, QA2, module maintenance & repair, software M&R, OSF staffing (AoD), H/W + S/W development, advance science support and development

May 2006 – NRAO Users Committee Meeting NRAO, Socorro, New Mexico North American ARC: Science Div. Proposal and Scheduling Functions: Review and evaluate the Proposal Submission Tool (PST), and assist proposers Issue call for proposals Organize review and ranking of NA proposals Provide assistance to users in generating observe files Verify and correct schedule blocks User Science Support: Participate in Commissioning and Science Verification Review and evaluate the pipeline and off-line data reduction software, cookbooks, and web pages Disseminate full uv data sets OSF staffing: “Astronomer-on-Duty” Quality assurance and user feedback to OSF Post-observation user support via helpdesk Archive support: Operate NA ALMA Archive (>100 Tbytes per year; cf HST 20 Tbytes total) Support archive research Provide interface to the VO

May 2006 – NRAO Users Committee Meeting NRAO, Socorro, New Mexico Hardware and Software Maintenance and Repair Maintain and repair hardware and software developed by NA during construction NA Software deliverables: Scheduling, real-time system, pipeline, correlator, offline. NA Hardware deliverables: Band 3, Band 6, Back End assembly, LO, IF & DTS system, correlator, antenna power supply. ARC Technical and Software Divisions Hardware and Software Development Develop algorithms and software for new observing modes or new computing H/W Develop new pipeline heuristics New ALMA observing bands SIS fabrication mixer development Photonic LO Advanced WVRs … Science/community driven: Organize regular workshops to set science priorities

May 2006 – NRAO Users Committee Meeting NRAO, Socorro, New Mexico Science Development Division ALMA will attract a broad spectrum of users, far beyond the historical NRAO mm/radio userbase. For U.S. astronomers to fully realize the transformational nature of ALMA requires a broader functionality for the ALMA Science Center. Advanced User Support Expert post-observation user support Support for special, large, and legacy projects Reprocessing complex datasets New algorithms for calibration/imaging Advanced simulation development Develop advanced observation planning tools Professional Development (student programs, schools and workshops) ALMA Fellows and Postdoc Program ALMA EPO User Grants program advocate (could be run by NSF)? Community involvement in advanced ALMA ‘ops’? While the Science Operations (ARC) and Science Development Divisions are functionally separate, the scientific staff of the NAASC will be assigned both Operations and Development functions, ensuring that all NAASC astronomers have the proper expertise with end-to-end ALMA operations.

May 2006 – NRAO Users Committee Meeting NRAO, Socorro, New Mexico The North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC): summary Three major components: The North American ARC Operations Basic user support Mirror of ALMA Archive Bilaterally agreed upon services ALMA Technical Support Maintenance & Repair of NA delivered hardware/software Development of additional observing capabilities/techniques Science Development Division Full user support Fellows, postdocs,student programs, workshops, schools EPO User Grants program

May 2006 – NRAO Users Committee Meeting NRAO, Socorro, New Mexico NAASC Status: C. Carilli replaces P. Vanden Bout as NAASC head May J. Hibbard is Acting Head of NA ARC. C. Brogan is head of ARC Science Division (a division of 1!). An internal review of the “NA ALMA Operations and NAASC Staffing Plan” was held on April 11th. Panel members included representatives from GBT Ops, NM Ops, e2e, EVLA, Fiscal, HR, the Directors Office, and NRC. Overall the response was positive. Discussions were held concerning the role of Canada in NA ALMA operations. James Di Francesco is official NRC liasion to NAASC. NRC-HIA will comment on the NAASC Staffing plan and get back to us with concrete suggestions. Presentations on the NAASC were made to NSF on April A formal proposal is due to NSF by the end of October NSF priorities are (1) support for ALMA Chilean Operations; (2) support for bilaterially agreed-upon operations support (i.e., NA ARC); (3) additional NAASC services. “ALMA North American Science Advisory Committee” (ANASAC) meets with NAASC and NRAO Director via telecon once every other month. NAASC holds informational and planning meetings on first Wednesday of each month. Attended by NRC representative, NRAO ALMA construction personnel, and any interested NRAO staff. First NAASC Workshop “From z-Machines to ALMA: (sub)mm Spectroscopy of Galaxies” was held at NAASC Jan participants. Wildly successful. Programs and talks posted at Next workshop under discussion with ANASAC. Town Meetings held at last two winter AAS meetings. Talks posted at Special Session planned for Calgary AAS. Presence planned at IAU (Prauge, August) and ALMA Madrid meeting (November), plus AAS Jan Work has begun on defining international EPO working group to facilitate collection and disemmination of “All Things ALMA”. Plans for ALMA Chilean EPO are being developed.
