[alma-config] Fwd: [Almasci_chile] [Alma_chileusers] Antenna dance at ALMA

[awootten]

Folks,

As you know, ALMA recently completed its Long Baseline Campaign to 
demonstrate array readiness for supporting PI science on long 
baselines.  Many antenna pads have not yet been occupied, as the 
campaign only used a fraction of the antennas.  However, this does mark 
a milestone in the design of the configuration, in which we all took 
part some time ago.  Thanks again for your efforts!  Denis Barkats and 
others have assembled a movie showing the antenna movements to the end 
of the campaign, ca 7 Dec.  I'd like to share this message from ALMA, 
and to wish you all a magnificent 2015.

Clear skies,
Al

    Antenna dance at ALMA

All of the movements of ALMA’s antennas since September 2009–when the 
first one arrived at Chajnantor, at an altitude of 5,000 meters in 
Chile's Atacama Desert–have been charted in this one-minute, animated 
film that ALMA has created with the help of INRIA 
<http://www.almaobservatory.org/en/press-room/announcements-events/379-alma-signs-agreement-with-one-of-europes-most-prestigious-computer-research-centers>, 
the/Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique/. 
/"Information about the historical location of each antenna is very 
important for astronomers when reducing and studying observatory data,"/ 
says Denis Barkats, an ALMA astronomer and coauthor of the animated film.

    Danza de antenas en ALMA

Todos los desplazamientos de las antenas de ALMA realizados entre 
septiembre de 2009 -momento en que la primera de ellas llegó a 
Chajnantor (5.000mts de altitud en el desierto de Atacama, en Chile)- 
hasta ahora quedaron graficados en esta animación de un minuto de 
duración realizada en conjunto por INRIA 
<http://www.almaobservatory.org/es/sala-de-prensa/anuncios-eventos/379-alma-signs-agreement-with-one-of-europes-most-prestigious-computer-research-centers>/-Institut 
National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique/- y ALMA. 
/"Contar con información sobre la localización histórica de cada antena 
es muy importante para los astrónomos al momento de reducir y estudiar 
los datos del observatorio"/, dice Denis Barkats, astrónomo de ALMA y 
coautor de la animación.
