The BRAIN study pioneers the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to ALMA data, redefining imaging processes. By addressing challenges like extended emission detection and computational efficiency, the study introduces cutting-edge tools - RESOLVE and DeepFocus - to improve imaging quality and speed.

Following the announcement from ESO about the start of the search for its next astronomical ground-based programme for the 2040s (https://next.eso.org/), the community is getting organised to prepare the science case for a potential facility in the 2040s ('ALMA 2040'), building upon the successes of the current ALMA Observatory. 

Spanish ALMA days will take place on 18-20 February 2025 and will be hosted by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) in Tenerife, Spain.

The UK ALMA 2025 Hybrid Workshop will take place 20-22 January 2025 (registration deadline: 15 November 2024).

Applications are invited for a research associate position in the UK ALMA Regional Centre Node.

Would you like to join us at the ARC? The European ALMA Regional Centre at ESO is looking for a new astronomer. See the advert here. The deadline for applications is 16 November.

Spanish ALMA days will take place on 18-20 February 2025 and will be hosted by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) in Tenerife, Spain.

Our interactive "LEGO ALMA" gives people an intuitive introduction to interferometry and ALMA's capabilities.
