1 1 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Al Wootten Science Overview & Publications

2 2 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Assess scientific outcomes and impact from Cycles 0, 1 & 2. What are the challenges for NA? ALMAhas produced more than 220 refereed publications Wordle from all abstracts

3 3 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 ALMA Observations Thus Far Science Verification: 16 Datasets so far Cycle 0: Sep 2011-Dec 2012 (990 proposals, 500h): –16 12-m antennas –Receiver Bands: 3, 6, 7 and 9 –Highest angular resolution: 0.2”, longest baseline ~ 400 m –All data delivered Cycle 1: Jan 2013-May 2014 (1131 proposals, 800h): –32 12-m antennas and ACA (9 7-m antennas, 2 Total Power antennas) –Receiver Bands: 3, 6, 7 and 9 –Highest resolution 0.08”, longest baseline ~ 1 km –Data delivery in progress –Carry over to Cycle 2 ~ 460 hours

4 4 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 ALMA Observations Thus Far Cycle 2 - June 2014  October 2015  1384 proposals received for a total of 2000 hours  353 A & B rated proposals / 159 C rated proposals (fillers) –34 12-m antennas and ACA (10 7-m antennas, 2 Total Power antennas; this is the target, which is almost surpassed every night! –Receiver Bands: 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 –Longest baseline 1.5 km Note: There is a carry-over from Cycle 1 of ~ 460 hours Cycle 3 - October 2015  October 2016 –1582 proposals received seeking 9037 hours from 2100 hours available –36 12-m antennas and ACA (9 7-m antennas, 2 Total Power antennas –Receiver Bands: 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 –Longest baseline (10 km, 5km, 2km [(Bands 3,4 and 6)(b7), B8,9,10)] –In processing

5 5 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 ALMA Science Output Refereed Papers – Data collected May 4, 2015 High impact in all subject areas (Highest in Cosmology, Star & Planet Formation) Compared with Oct. 31, 2013 ASAC Report From ALMA Archive database –220 (65) Published –164 (36) Cycle 0 data –20 (0) Cycle 1 data (incl. DDT) –50 (29) Science & Verification data –16 (7) in Nature/Science Maintaining at ~7-8% Planet Formation Solar System Cosmology ISM Stars and Stellar Envelopes

6 6 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Formation of the 1 st Galaxies ALMA observation of distant Lyα entities: –Deep non-detections in 250GHz continuum and [CII] –“Himiko” and IOK-1 have very low dust content and atomic carbon (e.g. metal poor system) – [CII] may not be the best tracer for 1 st galaxies Possibly witnessing an assembly of ‘first galaxy’ [CII] Top: Himiko Ouchi et al. (2013), Bottom: IOK-1 Iye, Ota, Kashikawa et al (2006), Ota and Walter et al. (2014) AAS225

7 7 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Gravitational Lensing Galaxy Abell 1689 A1689-zD1, a dusty, normal galaxy in the epoch of re- ionization at z=7.5±0.2 (spectroscopic detection of the Lyα Break – Xshooter with VLT) Detected with ALMA at ~230 GHz S ν = 0.61± 0.12 mJy Highly evolved galaxy: large stellar mass (1.7x10 9 M O ), dust enriched (4x10 7 M O ), and gas- to-dust ratio close to MW. SFR~12 M O yr -1 Watson et al. Nature (2015)

8 8 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 SDP.81 at z = 3.04

9 9 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 ALMA Partnership, Vlahakis et al. 2015

10 10 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 The Long Baseline Campaign: SDP.81 at z=3.04 ALMA Partnership, Vlahakis et al. 2015 0.01”= 400 pc at z=3

11 11 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Revealing the Complex Nature of SDP.81 Dye et al. 2015 (see also Rybak et al.)

12 12 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Long Baseline Campaign: HL Tau

13 13 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Long Baseline Campaign: HLTau Young Star ~1 Million Years One of the nearest star forming regions to Earth (~450 light yr) Resolution is 5 AU Gaps almost certainly reflect young planets Comparison to Hubble shows ALMA’s power! Presence of several planets at such a young age is “disturbing” to planet formation theories ALMA Partnership, Brogan et al. 2015

14 14 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 Long Baseline Campaign: Juno ALMA Partnership, Hunter et al. 2015 Band 6 - Frequency = 233 GHz; Five consecutive executions over 4.4 hours Beamsize ~ 0.04”x0.03” (~60x45 km)

17 17 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 ALMA Publication Data Source Archival vs PI data Archive

18 18 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 ALMA Archive Dataflow In from AOS, out through ARCs Increase in outflow

19 19 ANASAC Meeting – May 20, 2015 ALMA/NA Papers Summary ALMA publications continue to rise rapidly – Number has doubled in past year – Citations have tripled – Large (~6x) increase in NRAO telescope user community – Increasing use of archival data Papers from all three cycles are being produced by NA authors at about the same rate as in other Executives, proportionally NAASC and JAO are well-represented among authors on papers.
