ALMA Memo 364

An Antenna Location Mask for Configuration Designs for ALMA

Bryan J. Butler

2001-Apr-19

It is not practically feasible to place antennas at any location
in our science preserve. Topographic constraints cause large
areas of the science preserve to be undesirable for antenna placement, 
due to the cost of putting antennas in those locations. In
addition, the existing pipelines and roads provide further constraints 
for possible antenna locations. Given the guidance of the
report of the review committee from the configuration PDR (Guilloteau 
et al. 2001), a new antenna location mask specifying where antennas 
should not be placed on the preserve has been created for use by those 
designing the ALMA configurations, and is presented herein.
