ALMA Memo #405

Unaddressed Issues for ALMA Configurations

M.A. Holdaway (NRAO)

2002/01/07

I am reminding the configuration designers about a few issues which have
apparently been put aside while more important issues were being addressed.
These include the requirement of multiple compact configurations to
adequately cover the entire observable declination range, the design of
other N-S stretched configurations for extreme declination sources, and
possibly a global N-S elongation factor for the base configurations.
Address- ing the need of multiple compact configurations for extreme
declination sources, which is required for the observation of about 30% of
the sky visible from Chajnantor, will likely add more antenna stations to
the configuration design.
