The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array
Open accessAbstract
The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) is an international radio telescope under construction in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. ALMA is situated on a dry site at 5000 m elevation, allowing excellent atmospheric transmission over the instrument wavelength range of 0.3-10 mm. ALMA will consist of two arrays of high-precision antennas. One, of up to 64 12-m-diameter antennas, is reconfigurable in multiple patterns ranging in size from 150 m up to ~ 15 km. A second array is composed of a set of four 12-m and 12 7-m antennas operating in one of two closely packed configurations ~ 50 m in diameter. The instrument will provide both interferometric and total-power astronomical information on atomic, molecular, and ionized gas and dust in the solar system, our galaxy, and the nearby to high-redshift universe. In this paper, we outline the scientific drivers, technical challenges, and planned progress of ALMA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
