ALMA developments

Technical developments

EMERGE leads and participates in different technical projects for ALMA (see below).

For further information, please contact us.

Archival research

In collaboration with the Dutch ARC-node Allegro, EMERGE is developing the new "ALminer: ALMA archive mining and visualization toolkit" (Ahmadi & Hacar 2021), a novel series of interactive tools to effectively query and analyze the ALMA Science Archive.

06/2021: ALminer is available in Github (EMERGE-StG Github)

Supercomputers & Massive Data Reduction

EMERGE is developing a new framework for massive data reduction in the ALMA era using supercomputers such as SURFsara/Spider (Amsterdam) (link).

Pilot project: This technique has been successfully applied on a the analysis of the first Survey of Orion disks with ALMA (SODA; van Terwisga, Hacar, & van Dishoeck, et al, submitted to A&A).

Data combination

The recovery of extended emission is one of the most fundamental challenges for interferometric mapping. EMERGE leads the Quality Assessment team at the DC2019 working group (https://github.com/teuben/dc2019) for the exploration of state-of-the-art Data Combination techniques for interferometers such as ALMA.
