ALMA Cycle 10 Call for Proposals
Published: 27 Apr 2023
The Cycle 10 new capabilities are:
- Band 1 on the 12-m Array and for Stokes I only (no Stokes Q/U/V) is anticipated to be available from March 2024.
- Spectral scans that include Total Power observations.
- 4x4-bit spectral modes for improved sensitivity on the 12-m Array (dual polarization).
- Solar observations in full polarization in Band 3 using only the 12-m Array.
- Phased array mode in Bands 1, 3, 6, and 7 (the total time available for this mode will be limited to 50 hours).
- VLBI in Bands 1, 3, 6, and 7, including flexible tuning for spectral lines.
New in Cycle 10 will be the availability of Joint Proposals with other facilities, including the Space Telescope Science Institute's James Webb Space Telescope, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope.
Also, new this Cycle, Band-to-band phase calibration will be available for high-frequency observations on both the 7-m Array and all 12-m Array configurations. The total time available for projects needing band-to-band phase calibration will be limited.
