Almansa es muy parecido a Santiago. Tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 a poco m\u00e1s de una hora del mar y se enclava a 800 metros de altitud. Tiene un clima mediterr\u00e1neo que propicia el cultivo de vi\u00f1edos. Tal como en Chile, pero est\u00e1 en Espa\u00f1a, en la provincia de Albacete.

We will continue to be a state-of-the-art observatory. ALMA was built with the technology of the beginning of the new millennium, it is almost 20 years old: 10 years in construction, 10 years in operations. If we don’t do something, we may become obsolete. That’s why we have to make this type of upgrades almost obligatory”. He stresses that a key challenge will be “to implement a new telescope in parallel to one that is already working”.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”191.8px” custom_margin=”|auto|6px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Rapanui y cambios muy profundos<\/strong><\/p>\n Hace 14 a\u00f1os que \u00c1lvaro Gonz\u00e1lez trabaja en ALMA, pero siempre desde Jap\u00f3n. \u201cPart\u00ed como ingeniero de desarrollo para el receptor de Banda 10\u201d, recuerda, y ahora ve con entusiasmo \u201cvolver a hablar en espa\u00f1ol despu\u00e9s de tantos a\u00f1os\u201d, al llegar a un pa\u00eds donde ya conoce Rapanui, la Patagonia y el desierto. <\/p>\n He describes the WSU project as complex and technically thick: “the different parts of the upgrade will be delivered by Europe, North America and East Asia and everything will be assembled in Chile. Apart from that, the challenge is that it is very diverse in the type of expertise needed. It has a lot of engineering, but then there are also going to be very profound changes in the software to operate the telescope and also in the kind of Science Operations model”.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alma.loadingediciones.cl\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-3.13.20-PM-1.jpeg” title_text=”WhatsApp Image 2023-11-16 at 3.13.20 PM (1)” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”143.8px” custom_margin=”|auto|6px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alma.loadingediciones.cl\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-3.12.55-PM-1-e1704401673139.jpeg” title_text=”WhatsApp Image 2023-11-16 at 3.12.55 PM (1)” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Being a new telescope he believes that the size of the data and even the model will change along the way. The idea is a change in instantaneous bandwidth: the goal is to make it four times wider than it is today. “And apart from that is what’s called the spectral resolution, the finesse with which we can analyze that bandwidth that we’re looking at. Right now, for example, if we want to look at it very finely, we have to narrow it down. In the future, with WSU, we’re going to be able to see everything and with the maximum bandwidth.”[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”143.8px” custom_margin=”|auto|6px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]In his new position at ALMA, this professional, fascinated by the altitude of the Andes Mountains, is already thinking in parallel about ALMA 2040: “for example, to have receivers that are not just one pixel in the sky, but many pixels, like a camera. Or increase the maximum distance between antennas. Right now with configuration 10 there are 16 km. So the idea would be to increase to 30 km. to get the angular resolution in the sky to improve and see more detail in the observations. Or increase the number of antennas to detect even weaker signals”.<\/p>\n For the moment the WSU is already in orbit to start with scientific observations towards the end of the decade.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#153772″ text_font_size=”23px” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\u00a1Bienvenido al JAO \u00c1lvaro Gonz\u00e1lez!<\/strong>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#E09900″ text_font_size=”20px” text_orientation=”center” text_text_shadow_style=”preset1″ text_text_shadow_color=”#E09900″ box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]SI TE GUST\u00d3 ESTE NEWSLETTER, \u00a1DALE UN \"LIKE\" Y COMENTA!<\/strong>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n Almansa is very similar to Santiago.
