Six years since ALMA crucially helped the Event Horizon Telescope take the first image of a supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy… you can relive it all below!

EHT Reveals New Insights of Jets from Supermassive Black Holes. ALMA is a big part of EHT, and in this case provided the most accurate calibration for the observations, which was used later for the longer baselines between EHT telescopes.

ps. IAA-CSIC plays a strong role in EHT and this news, and is where I got my Ph.D., so this is doubly important for me.

ALMA Discovers “Space Tornadoes” Around the Milky Way’s Core!

Although the galaxy’s central molecular zone (CMZ) has long been known to be filled with swirling dust and gas molecules cycling through formation and destruction, the mechanism that drives this process has remained elusive. Molecules serve as tracers for various processes in molecular clouds, with silicon monoxide (SiO) particularly useful in detecting the presence of shock waves.

Using ALMA’s high resolution and sensitivity to map distinct spectral lines within the molecular clouds at the center of the Milky Way, the team led by Kai Yang (Shanghai Jiao Tong University) has delineated a new type of long, narrow filamentary structure at a significantly finer scale. The dynamic interaction between this turbulent environment and the slim filaments produced as shocks ripple through provides a more complete view of the cyclical processes within the CMZ.

Yang’s team reports it remains unknown how these slim filaments initially arise, but shock processes emerge as a likely explanation.

We're hiring again! Now we're looking for an Science Archive Content Manager (aka SACM). This person will be a mamber of the Data Management Group, and will be integral on creating useful science data from the raw data generated by the observatory. And in the WSU era, they will be providing expertise on how to best reduce the data.

For that, we're looking for someone with a Master's degree in astronomy with minimum three years of relevant working experience. A PhD degree will be considered an asset.

The successful candidate must have experience in data processing of astronomical data, with a good command of Unix/Linux. If they have experience in sub-mm/radio interferometric and/or single-dish data reduction, and Python programming skills, that will be an asset

Of course, she or he must be fluent in English, with fluency in Spanish being an asset.

Does that look like you, or someone you know? Please help us and apply, or forward this vacancy!

Hey there, time for an introduction! I’m new to CalcKey (and CalcKey.social in particular), but not that new to the Fediverse, so this will not be my main profile for some time, but I’ll try to see if it can become that.

I’m half-astronomer, half-engineer, although the engineering part has been gaining more relevance with time.

I have worked for several observatories, among them the European Southern Observatory, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, and since June 2022 the Joint ALMA Observatory.

The Joint ALMA Observatory just went through its 10th anniversary, and is ready now for its major overhaul: the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, which will change all the signal chain, including correlation and data processing, to get an huge multiple in speed gains for most projects, and at least a 4 times gain for most.

My role is to supervise the Systems Engineering efforts for all relevant subprojects, to make sure that a successful observatory upgrade is delivered which provides a lot of value to our community.

See you around!

ps. As my profile indicates, most of my activity will, anyway, happen at @[email protected]. At least, for the time being!
