Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Expanded Very Large Array Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope Very Long Baseline Array Observing with NRAO Telescopes A short but practical guide Dale A. Frail Assistant Director, New Mexico Operations

New Capabilities offered in early 2012 Green Bank Telescope (GBT) – GHz – Second-generation of instruments in shared-risk observing C band receiver (4-8 GHz) Ku band receiver (10-18 GHz) W band receiver (68-92 GHz, 4 mm)* VErsatile GBT Astronomical Spectrometer (VEGAS) Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) – GHz – 2 Gbit/s wideband recording is default – New C-band receivers (4-8 GHz) – *GBT 4mm available as part of High Sensitivity Array (HSA) NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January 20122

New Capabilities offered in early 2012 Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) – 1-50 GHz – Regular observers will have up to 2 GHz of bandwidth and will have new receivers in nearly all 27 antennas (24 have Ku and X) – Resident observers (RSRO) will have access up to 8 GHz of bandwidth plus increased WIDAR correlator flexibility NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January 20123

New Capabilities offered in early 2012 Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) – Cycle 1 – GHz (in four bands, same as Cycle 0) – m antennas, at least six 7-m antennas – Baselines from km – Single field and mosaicing modes available – Additional correlator flexibility (averaging, independent tuning, etc) NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January 20124

Proposal and Project Types for EVLA, GBT and VLBA Regular and Large Proposals  Key Science Projects Director Discretionary Time Joint programs with Fermi and Chandra PhD Dissertation projects High risk, high return projects Filler projects ALMA preparatory projects NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January For more details on EVLA, VLBA and GBT capabilities see the Call For Proposals in the NRAO eNews Jan. 2012

Proposal Submission and Evaluation Electronic submission via NRAO and ALMA Web portal Community-lead TAC Process – Current ALMA Chair = Neal Evans (U. Texas) – Current EVLA, GBT, VLBA Chair = Mark Reid (CfA) Telescopes are dynamically scheduled (with some exceptions) NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January For more telescope-specific information see ALMA Special Session: Wed.10am Room17B ALMA Splinter Session: Wed. at 5:30 pm Room 8 EVLA, GBT, VLBA Splinter Session: Thurs.12 at 9:30 am Room 8 SemesterProposal DeadlineObserving Period 2012B1 February~1Aug. – 30 Jan. 2013A1 August~1 Feb. – 31 July ALMA C11 st half of months, 1500 hrs

User Support and Training Unified operations to maximize science impact – Four telescopes, One Observatory – Expertise spread throughout Observatory NRAO Helpdesk is first line of help for… – Proposal preparation and submission – Observing preparation and submission – Data archive, post-processing and analysis NRAO also provides… – Face-to-face visitor support and Resident shared-risk programs – Community days, data reduction workshops, scientific workshops, and summer schools – Financial support of PhD projects, Summer student, graduate student and postdoctoral programs NRAO Town Hall, AAS – Austin, 10 January 20127
