Message-ID: <000901c20b96$af480d90$c68353c3@Guilloteau>

Dear ASAC members,

    The ALMA board has given the following charge to the ASAC for its next meeting. Some of the items will 
require substantial amount of work, and it would be good if we could discuss briefly the tasks assignments at
our next teleconference

    Best regards

        Stephane

ALMA MEMO #428

Compact Configuration Evaluation

Melvyn Wright
(Radio Astronomy laboratory, University of California, Berkeley)

2002/06/12

Keywords: Antenna Configurations, Image Simulations

In this memo, we compare the imaging performance of 3 compact configurations.  We have written MIRIAD scripts to simulate imaging
with ALMA, and pipeline the results into tables.  We present a table of beam FWHM, brightness sensitivity and  sidelobe levels as a
function of declination.  Single field images for source diameters 8, 16, 24, and 32 arcsec are also analyzed.  Based on these
results, 2 compact arrays appear sufficient. Omitting an extended N-S compact configuration is operationally simpler and saves about
$1M.
