Scientific paper

With the prospect of Japan joining the ALMA project in a 3-way partnership, it is necessary to explore what are the best scientific options for the possible extensions of the baseline ALMA proposal. These include a compact array of smaller antennas (the ALMA Compact Array -- ACA), which would provide enhanced wide-field imaging capabilities by measuring the short spacings poorly or not sampled by ALMA. I will present the results of the evaluation of the ALMA+ACA imaging capabilities. An ALMA simulation set up by Frederic Gueth, Stephane Guilloteau and myself for the evaluation purpose will be freely distributed with IRAM software in mid-2001. This talk should give a good idea of the capabilities of this simulation.
