论文摘要
位于智利的Chajnantor的高沙漠平原上的Atacama大毫米毫米阵列(ALMA)通过在毫米和亚毫米毫米的波长中提供与在Optical(Optical and of Optical and of Optical and Iltriol and Iltriol and Iltriot)(Uv)(UV)(uv)(uv)(uv)(uv)(uv)(uv v v and),在2016年开放了一条新的太阳能物理学窗口。波长,并具有较高的时间分辨率。在随后的几年中,在开发数据校准策略以及数据成像和恢复技术中的新观察模式和功能方面已取得了进展。在这里,我们回顾Alma当前的太阳能观察能力,用户可能建议使用该仪器的过程,并总结观察过程和工作流程。然后,我们讨论用户在成像和分析数据时可能遇到的一些挑战。最后,我们讨论了正在考虑的其他太阳能观察能力和模式,旨在进一步利用阿尔玛提供的独特光谱覆盖率。
The Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA), sited on the high desert plains of Chajnantor in Chile, has opened a new window onto solar physics in 2016 by providing continuum observations at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths with an angular resolution comparable to that available at optical (O), ultraviolet (UV), extreme ultraviolet (EUV), and X-ray wavelengths, and with superior time resolution. In the intervening years, progress has been made testing and commissioning new observing modes and capabilities, in developing data calibration strategies, and in data imaging and restoration techniques. Here we review ALMA current solar observing capabilities, the process by which a user may propose to use the instrument, and summarize the observing process and work flow. We then discuss some of the challenges users may encounter in imaging and analyzing their data. We conclude with a discussion of additional solar observing capabilities and modes under consideration that are intended to further exploit the unique spectral coverage provided by ALMA.
