Agenda:

1. Status of on-going projects

• Antoine: Melanie (PhD) starting in September to work on shock models. Predictions for species that are “easy” (?) to model. Shocked objects? Accretion shocks, filament formation, outflows. Currently: 140 species, the goal is to deliver a set of diagnostics based on the ALMA-IMF data to see to which extent they can distinguish between different shock models (fish out molecules sensitive to shocks).
• Manuel+Estrella: baseline issues towards W51E resolved:
  • baseline issue produced by a shallow cleaning
  • CO spw: lots of absorption features
  • Reminder of a previous issue with Jordan’s field?
• LAB: 
  • Melisse on G337: 
    • previous issues on B6 spw39 partly solved
    • cube seems to be intrinsically different than others?
  • Nathalie W43-MM2: 
    • imaging problem with the TM1-TM2 data
      • suggestions: concatenation, chanweight True/False?
      • Ana takes a look spw39
• Anyone else?

 

1. Separate email list for the Hot core WG
2. Status of data processing tools (ADMIT, IMAGER)
   • update on the  ADMIT linelist ? 
   • Lee: work in progress
   • 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)

• spectral-cube tutorial too, perhaps

1. Current issues and limitations with line/cube cleaning

• Cubes: what is the current status?
  • https://bio.rc.ufl.edu/secure/adamginsburg/ALMA-IMF/cube_quicklooks
• Cubes: how well these will be useable for the most line-rich sources? Any post-processing needed? What softwares/methods will be used for their exploitation?
• Contribution to cubes QA
