Agenda:

1. Status of data cubes and the quality assessment

• Cubes: what is the current status?

1. Status of data processing tools (ADMIT, IMAGER)
   • Progress with  ADMIT ? 
     
   
   

    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)

1. Status of projects

• Any updates? (Manuel, Melisse, Nathalie, Gemma, Antoine?)
  
  • Melisse: maps of 13CH3OH, C2H5CN
    
  • Sgr B2 (Orion KL/BN): direct comparison of the spectra, about 50% of the lines remains unidentified in W43-MM1, brightest source
    
• Status of post-processing for continuum over-subtraction 
  

Comment from roberto: is this continuum over-subtraction widespread? My hope would be that it’s not. If that is the case, I think uv-continuum subtracted cubes can be used for science in many cases. Some cases will still need to use non uv-continuum subtracted cubes, but as we have seen this is more difficult and we are still figuring out how to deal with them.
