Issues affecting CASA mosaic imaging

19 October 2018/in ALMA, General news/by Allegro

The ALMA Observatory circulated a report of issues affecting mosaic images produced with CASA in ALMA Cycles 1-5.

Over the course of the last several months an issue in CASA mosaic imaging was recognized. The Observatory elected to understand and characterize the issue before informing the user community of potential impacts on the resulting images. The CASA team has now identified a couple of issues using both the 7-m and 12-m arrays over the course of the past few cycles and CASA releases. The full extent of the data affected is still being investigated.

You can read further details on the identified issues in this link to the Science Portal.

Science Highlight: Most distant rotating disc galaxy found10 October 2024 - 16:35
A team led by Leiden Observatory researchers has discovered the most distant disc galaxy yet observed. The observations were conducted as part of the ALMA Large Program REBELS: Reionization Era Bright Emission Lines Survey, thus the disc galaxy has been dubbed REBELS-25. The galaxy seems as orderly as present-day galaxies, but we see it as it […]
