Verification Data Available

Dear Colleagues,

The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) has announced that the ALMA Science
Archive is now open for the submission of Cycle 0 Early Science
observing proposals until the submission deadline at 15h UT/11h
EDT/08h PDT on Thursday, June 30, 2011.

Proposers are reminded that all proposals must be submitted to the
Science Archive using the ALMA Observing Tool, and that all PIs and
co-Is must be registered at the ALMA Science Portal.

Additional information regarding ALMA Early Science proposals, the
Observing Tool, and the proposal submission process is available via
the ALMA Science Portal at http://www.almascience.org

The JAO has also announced the availability of the first 2 ALMA
Science Verification datasets:

(1) The protoplanetary disk source TW Hya at Band 7 (0.87 mm), with
high spectral resolution; and

(2) The galaxy merger NGC 3256 at Band 3 (3 mm), with low spectral resolution.

These datasets demonstrate the very early capabilities of ALMA. They
were observed before 10 ALMA antennas were available and while many of
the subsystems were still being tested, so they should not be
construed to represent the data quality for Early Science. These
datasets are provided now to enable the user community to become
acquainted with the ALMA data structure, observing strategies, and
data reduction techniques.

Additional information regarding the Science Verification Data is
available via the "ALMA Data" tab at the ALMA Science Portal.
