ALMA Memo No. 402 Illumination Taper Misalignment and Its Calibration
--------
This needs to be done within the next month. Chapters which the science group has traditionally participated in include:
Table of Contents
3 Calibration
1. General Calibration Issues (Holdaway &
Wootten) (alternative as HTML ) 2001-02-06
This chapter will be revised in the light of the June PDR last year. I'll get up with Stephane on what to do as this seems a larger task than some others.
2. Calibration Hardware (Payne, Vaccari et al.) (alternative HTML ) 2001-02-02
This needs input from IRAM on the semi-transparent vane, in my opinion. It should have something about the optical pointing telescopes also. It should also include WLM material from Cambridge, IMHO. However, I think it is inevitable that some items mentioned in 3.1 won't be addressed yet in 3.2--FTS for instance.
13 Data Analysis: Imaging Requirements (Holdaway 2000-04-24 & Wootten)
This chapter should make use of the Science Software Requirements Documents. I'll ask Mark and Steve to work on this.
14 Site Characterization (PDF) also available as 2001-08-01 HTML format (Radford)
I think Simon has revised this.
Array Configuration (Min Yun)
15 NB: Significant revision expected after Feb 2000-12-12 2001 PDR
I plan on asking Butler to do this when they return from scoping out the new configuration designs at Chajnantor. He has started on this by updating the WWW site.
