Welcome to the ALMA OST Image Library

The images displayed here can be selected from the drop-down list on the OST main page.
The noted ALMA Band is for reference only and can be altered within the OST.

Galactic Objects

Examples of objects to be found in within the Milky Way.

Protostellar Cluster

Modelled protostellar cluster (Credit K. Tatematsu and CASA guides(NRAO)).
Fits data at 230GHz (ALMA Band 6).
Selection Name: Protostellar

NGC1333-like

An image of the star forming region NGC1333 shifted into the southern hemisphere and placed at 8kpc. This image will require multiple ALMA pointings/
Fits data at 267GHz (ALMA Band 6).
Selection Name: NGC1333

Protoplanetary Disk

Simulated image of a 1 M_jup orbiting a 0.5 M_sol Star at a distance of 50pc. (Credit S.Wolf and CASA guides(NRAO))
Fits data at 672GHz (ALMA Band 9).
Selection Name: Disk

Nova Model

A simulated noisless model of a bipolar outflow from a classical nova representing thermal bremßtrahlung from a young nova. (Credit Heywood & O'Brien (2007)).
Fits data at 331GHz (ALMA Band 7)I may need to tweak this to be useful.
Selection Name: Nova
