Many thanks! We'll be producing more early in the new year, on calibrating polarization data and on how ALMA receivers work.

Thanks! Our goal is primarily to teach astronomers how to use the ALMA Observatory, but this isn't you I still hope you manage to get something out of them.

The primary audience for this video series is optical/infrared astronomers who may not be familiar with radio interferometry concepts but who want to use the ALMA Observatory for their science. We hope to provide basic interferometry concepts, observing and data reduction guidance, and so on, in relatively short, easy-to-watch segments. As a secondary goal we hope that our videos will be used as a supplement to undergraduate/graduate astronomy and physics courses. Try watching our (vintage) intro to interferometry video to get some context for the rest of the series.

Thanks for that insight!

We are working on two "practical examples" videos, one where continuum is the primary goal and one where spectral lines are the focus, and plan on releasing them this summer.

I'm afraid I have no idea what (or who) "3 Blue 1 Brown" is. It's a delightful and insightful video that we decided could not be improved upon, so we asked for (and received) permission to include it in this series.

@@almaprimer920 3B1B is a UA-camr who produces educational math videos with stunning visuals. I’m just complimenting Dale’s work.

@@AdrianBoyko Thanks! I'll have to check that out. Always interested in new visualization ideas.

Thanks, Max! We're working on more videos; expecting to release three or four new ones this summer.

Hi! I would suggest you use the ALMA Helpdesk off of the Science Portal (help.almascience.org) or the NRAO Helpdesk (help.nrao.edu). Both NRAO and ESO run workshops from time to time. You can find out about those through the Helpdesk as well.

Many thanks!

Many thanks! We are working on completing another two or three videos this fall. The first will be on self-calibration.

@@almaprimer920 that would be cool

Thanks, Lucas. We are actively working on the next batch of videos during the fall. I'll take your suggestion about explaining how correlations are done to the working group.

@@almaprimer920 thank you so much !

That would be a good idea for its own video. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@almaprimer920 Happy to read that the working group is motivated by this part too! When will it be made and published :p ?

@@lucasmarquis4530 That I can't predict. We aim to produce 2-3 videos per year; one is due for release in the next couple of months and two others are in various stages of completion. I'll ask around to see if there's anyone at NRAO who's interested in roughing out a script.

Thanks, Brian. We are actively working on the next batch of videos. The first one will be on self-calibration, hopefully done within a month or two.

Many thanks, Gregg, for catching that. I'll fix that right away.
