Agenda:

1. Overview of current status and development since last telecom
   • general reduction of cubes started? Which MS files are used? (Before or after QA3?)
     1. to be started in the next days, more discussion on the eventual MSes to be used is deferred for the DR telecom tomorrow 

https://bio.rc.ufl.edu/secure/adamginsburg/ALMA-IMF/tables/cube_metadata.js.html 

1. Input for the overview paper
   • status (Timea)

• G351, minor revisions to be made for the figures (verify also the position corresponding to the hot core)
• text needs to be completed

1. Status of on-going projects

• LAB: 
  • Nathalie/Fabrice W43-MM1/MM2: 
  • Melisse on G337 (and other sources):  Testing hot core identification methods

 

• Antoine: Melanie (PhD) on shocks : progress to be shown in two weeks
• Friedrich: G327
• Testing of tools:  MCWeeds, XCLASS
  • Adam perhaps will have someone starting to work with XCLASS

A script to download a bunch of cubes at once using Globus in command line is in:

(Note: to access to /private-work you need to be added by Adam)

1. Overview paper on hot cores from ALMA-IMF
   1. threshold in line density
   2. threshold in continuum flux, caveat of free-free contribution
   3. physical and chemical characteristics of sources
      1. temperature measures, e.g. CH3CN 
         1. CH3CN v=0 K=0 at 91.98705
         2. CH3CN v8=1 K=1 at 92.3535
      2. correlate temperatures with line density

 

1. Status of data processing tools (ADMIT, IMAGER)
   • Status of tests with IMAGER
   • Status of the update of the linelist for ADMIT ? 
   • Adam: Linelist  on github + google doc

    https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/hotcores <- place to put line lists, code related to hot cores, etc.  This is private, so you must request access (give Adam your username)
