Agenda:

1. Overview of current status and development since last telecom
   • general reduction of cubes started. First results for G351 done: 
     
     1. change in cycle factor (need more major cycles)
        
     2. beam size varies strongly over the spw 
        
     3. CASA 5.8 has new fixes and should improve the results
        

• status of pipeline reduction: new reduction will be started 
  
• Old GLOBUS stuff has been moved, ask Adam
  
• QA3 will be used in the new reduction

1. Input for the overview paper: feedback before the 15th of June

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 : 
  
• Friedrich: G327
  
• Testing of tools:  MCWeeds, XCLASS
  
  • Adam perhaps will have someone starting to work with XCLASS
    
    • any update on this?
      
  • Testing MCWeeds: 
    
    • start with synthetic spectra
      

Next meeting: discuss more about CH3CN


A script to download a bunch of cubes at once using Globus in command line is in:
https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/private-work/tree/master/misc
(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)
