چکیده
1The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international astronomy facility, is a partnership of East Asia, Europe and North America in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. ALMA is funded in East Asia by the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) of Japan in cooperation with the Academia Sinica (AS) in Taiwan. In Europe ALMA is funded by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and 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). ALMA construction and operations are led on behalf of East Asia by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), on behalf of Europe by ESO and on behalf of North America by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), which is managed by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI). The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) has been formed to provide the unified leadership and management of the construction, commissioning and operation of ALMA.

The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)
The Atacama Large Millimeter Array, or ALMA, is an international telescope project which will be built over the coming decade in Northern Chile. With over 7000 m of collecting area comprised of 64 12m antennas arrayed over baselines up to 14 km in extent, ALMA will provide images of unprecedented clarity and detail. One revolutionary feature of ALMA will be its ability to combine interferometri...
متن کاملA Japanese Plan of Receiver Developments for LMSA/ALMA
We present a baseline plan of Japanese receiver developments for the Large Millimeter Submillimeter Array (LMSA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). Two receiver cartridge layouts for ALMA band 8 (385 – 500 GHz) have been proposed based on a quasi-optical sideband separation. These cartridges will be evaluated in a secondary focal receiver system with the Atacama Submillimeter Telesc...
