What if we also do a giveaway on X (Twitter)?🤔

Contest on our "ALMA Open House day -
ESO Chile - AUI/NRAO Chile "

[ESO @ESO]

It's #ESOUsersDay ! Do you want to learn more about how to use @almaobs –– interferometry, calibration, imaging... If so, @alma_europe is organising a meeting on 10 - 14 June 2024, hosted by the UK ARC Node.

Register here until 31 Dec: https://t.co/BZcADqqNNF

Time to celebrate for @almaobs ! 🥳 🎉

In a test that imaged the evolved Milky Way star R Leporis, ALMA — in which ESO is a partner — achieved the sharpest observations since it began operations. 1/

📡This weekend, nature displayed its might with fierce winds and a stunning snowfall. For safety, we closed access to the antennas and interrupted our observations. A minor setback that gave us these amazing views that we just had to share.

The two winning pictures of our @almaobs drawing competition finally made it to ALMA! Congrats again to the winners & thanks to the Antenna Management Group for making such an effort with the photos. The pictures are now permanently displayed at the door of the ALMA control room!

A fun reunion!

[ALMA Europe @ALMA_Europe]

Czech node 🇨🇿 of the EU-ARC represented at the 19th Synthesis Imaging Workshop @TheNRAO in Charlottesville, with Abhijeet Borkar (@borkarabhijeet, current member), and Emily Moravec @DrEAMoravec & Devaky Kunneriath (former members) presenting how to work with @almaobs data.

[ALMA Europe @ALMA_Europe]

Friendly reminder! The deadline to submit your reviews for the distributed peer review of the @almaobs proposal packs is coming up soon: 28 June 2023 (15:00 UT).

In August, ALMA will be observing in its largest configuration C-10 with a maximal baseline of 16.2 km.

Although the number of proposals submitted hasn't changed much over the last couple of cycles, the amount of time requested has steadily gone up!

[ALMA Observatory📡 @almaobs]

📡The amount of time requested on the 12-m array increased to over 29,000 hours! Demand to Observe with ALMA remains very strong https://t.co/nK5jdxNcsK

[AbJ @borkarabhijeet]

We also briefly discuss some interesting and unique sources detected during visual inspection, including jetted quasars, lensed quasars, and quasars with close companions. These would be of interest to the community.

[AbJ @borkarabhijeet]

The catalogue is available online on MNRAS. We also provide a list of DR14 quasars within the ALMA footprint, for which no detection above an SNR cut of 3.5 was found.

[AbJ @borkarabhijeet]

70% of the objects are in the redshift range between 1 and 3, encompassing the peak of quasar activity.

[AbJ @borkarabhijeet]

We present 376 submm detections of SDSS DR14 quasars, corresponding to 275 unique quasars, in the ALMA footprint.

87% were targeting the SDSS quasar (i.e. the observations are centred on the quasar), while for the remaining cases the quasar just happened to be on an ALMA image.

[AbJ @borkarabhijeet]

SEDs of quasars at wavelengths >10 micron are often poorly defined, consequently affecting properties derived from those SEDs, such as SFRs in quasar hosts, dust temperatures etc.

This catalogue is a first step towards a study of submm properties of quasars in greater detail.

[AbJ @borkarabhijeet]

When creating the SED of quasars, submm is an oft-neglected part of the spectrum.

Our current knowledge on the far-infrared (FIR) to mm properties of quasars is based on observations with poor spatial resolution, making it difficult to identify counterparts at other wavelengths
