Create a Science Goal

All the technical specifications for your project are contained in one or more Science Goals. Each Science Goal may contain up to a total of 150 pointings attributed to one or more sources of the same target type (offset pointings or rectangular mosaic) located within 10 of each other on sky, and is limited to one correlator setup with up to five frequency tunings, one calibration strategy, and one set of Control and Performance parameters (see Step 3.8). You create a new Science Goal by clicking on the New Phase 1 Science Goal icon in the toolbar or selecting Edit New Phase 1 Science Goal from the Menu. The Science Goal can be renamed by right-clicking on the Science Goal node and selecting Rename, or by visiting the General editor pane, where a short description of the Science Goal may also be optionally entered in the corresponding field. A template library containing a range of pre-defined science goals can be brought up with View Show ALMA Template Library.

Image didyouknow You can easily copy and paste Science Goals, or parts of a Science Goal such as the spectral setup. In the Project tree, right-click on the component you want to copy and select 'Copy' (the Science Goal copied will turn pink). Then right-click on the next higher branch of the Project tree where you want to paste and select 'Paste'. Alternatively, you can select a node and drag & drop it to where you want it copied. Note that Science Goals can only be pasted/dropped at the Proposal or Planned Observing node level, and parts of a Science Goal can only be pasted/dropped at the Science Goal node level. You cannot e.g. paste a Science Goal into another Science Goal.
