Science drivers and technical considerations for an ALMA Focal Plane Array

The deployment of focal plane arrays (FPAs) is a very promising approach/upgrade that can unlock ALMA's full scientific potential by exploiting its unique sensitivity and resolving capabilities to their maximum, while increasing its mapping speed and efficiency. In this talk I will discuss the main science drivers, the scientific impact and the technical considerations for this endeavor that we are currently putting together as part of the recently commenced 3-years ALMA development study: ``Scientific opportunities and technical considerations for the development of ALMA focal plane arrays''.

Abstract

The deployment of focal plane arrays (FPAs) is a very promising approach/upgrade that can unlock ALMA's full scientific potential by exploiting its unique sensitivity and resolving capabilities to their maximum, while increasing its mapping speed and efficiency. In this talk I will discuss the main science drivers, the scientific impact and the technical considerations for this endeavor that we are currently putting together as part of the recently commenced 3-years ALMA development study: ``Scientific opportunities and technical considerations for the development of ALMA focal plane arrays''.
