- SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation Symposium
ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) is one of the largest ground-based astronomy projects of the next decade and will be the major new facility for observations in the millimeter/submillimeter regime. It will enable transformational research into the physics of the cold Universe, probe the first stars and galaxies, and directly image the formation of planets.
Since September 2014 ALMA has been observing the Universe using its longest ever baselines, with antennas separated by up to 15 kilometres. This Long Baseline Campaign will continue until 1 December 2014. The baseline is the distance between two of the antennas in the array. As a comparison, other facilities operating at millimetre wavelengths provide antennas separated by no more than two kilometres. The maximum possible ALMA baseline is 16 kilometres. Future observations at shorter wavelengths will achieve even higher image sharpness.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international astronomy facility, is a partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. ALMA is funded in Europe by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in North America by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in cooperation with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the National Science Council of Taiwan (NSC) and in East Asia by the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) of Japan in cooperation with the Academia Sinica (AS) in Taiwan. ALMA construction and operations are led on behalf of Europe by ESO, on behalf of North America by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), which is managed by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) and on behalf of East Asia by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) provides the unified leadership and management of the construction, commissioning and operation of ALMA.
Numerous technical papers related to ALMA were presented at the 2014 SPIE symposium on Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation. A plenary talk by ALMA director Pierre Cox, consisting of an update on construction and science observations, is available online.
What Do They Do at the ALMA Observatory?
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) released its first images of space in October 2011. Throughout its first half decade, ALMA has produced many exciting and fundamental results, enabling transformational science in a wide range of astronomy and planetary science subjects, from the Solar System to the early universe. Dr. Cox will present a selection of the most-remarkable ALMA scientific discoveries, compare the array's original fundamental science with its current results, and outline the future evolution of ALMA.
Presented by Dr. Pierre Cox, Director, ALMA

ALMA in Chile
In july 2010, Urania (An organisation of Belgian amateur astronomers.) visited ALMA in the Atacama dessert in northern-Chili. ALMA is a scientific project in its construction-phase. The complete project consists of 66 radio-antennas, placed on the Chajnantor plateau at 5200 m altitude. At the time of our visit, 5 antennas were installed on the plateau. They hope to install 1 antenna each month.
We visited the contruction- and operations-site at 2800 m altitude. The site is not open for regular visits, but now it is interesting because they are working on the antennas.
The video shows the different kind of antennas, the special transporter vehicles, a testing lab and the operations control room.
The subtitles are in dutch.

Después de estar unos días en San Pedro de Atacama, pudimos visitar las instalaciones de uno de los radio telescopios más grandes del mundo. Fui muy afortunado al saber des esto y poder acercarme un poco más a la astronomía.

Atacama Desert has Chilean astronomers seeing stars
Chile leads the world when it comes to space exploration and hosts some of the world’s largest instruments for observation of outer space. Correspondent Harris Whitbeck takes us to the Atacama Desert to behold the mysteries of the Milky Way from the driest desert on earth.
Large telescopes dot the Atacama Desert in the northern part of Chile and offer the ideal conditions to study space from Earth. The high altitude combined with a lack of moisture and light pollution provide a near-perfect view of the night sky.
Chile is working on another piece of equipment to look skyward as well. Construction has started on the extremely large telescope or E-L-T. Its diameter is a whopping 39 meters, which is nearly five times the size of the four telescopes currently being operated at the Paranal Observatory.
Check out Harris Whitbeck’s report from this rugged terrain on the Pacific coast and see how Chile is becoming the global superpower of space exploration.

How does it feel working at high altitude?
PBS NewsHour visited the ALMA observatory in Chile. Scientists working there typically go to work at 9,500 feet above sea level. A few work with the antennas 16,500 feet above sea level. This is how it affects them.

Chapter III: Soledad Fuica at ALMA Observatory
Being a Women is Powerful.
A web series dedicated to promoting gender equality in #STEM vocations throughout Chile. The videos are based on a gathering between students and scientists organized last year by AUI/NRAO, SOCHIAS and Inspiring Girls, with the enthusiastic participation of scientists from the ALMA and ESO Observatories, and the universities of Santiago de Chile, Andrés Bello and Concepción.
ALMA: The Atacama Large Millimeter Array
This movie documents on the status of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). ALMA will be comprised of some 64 12-meter, submillimetre-quality antennas at the high-altitude (5000 m) Llano de Chajnantor, possible the world's best site for millimetre astronomy, close to San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile. Here, the European Southern Observatory (ESO), together with its international partners, will build ALMA a state-of-the-art telescope to study light from some of the coldest objects in the Universe. This light falls between infrared light and radio waves, with wavelengths around a millimetre and is therefore known as millimetre and submillimetre radiation.

ESPACIO (Atacama: Una Ventana al Universo)
El Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), una asociación internacional entre Europa, Norteamérica y Asia del Este en colaboración con la República de Chile, es el mayor proyecto astronómico del mundo. Se trata de un interferómetro revolucionario que comprende un conjunto de 66 antenas (antenas también llamadas: reflectores o radiotelescopios cuando es de una única antena) de 7 y 12 metros de diámetro destinados a observar longitudes de onda milimétricas y submilimétricas. El proyecto fue construido en el llano de Chajnantor, a 5058 m de altitud, en el desierto de Atacama, en la zona norte de Chile. Con un coste de más de 1000 millones de euros, es el mayor y más caro radiotelescopio terrestre construido.
