Abstract
This document contains material regarding the new capabilities proposed for ALMA Cycle 8. These included a passive phasing mode (for weaker sources), an ALMA Band 3 pulsar observing mode, a prototype spectral line mode, also for Band 3, and minor improvements to the code for operational reasons. In the event, the first two were accepted for a Cycle 8 that was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The spectral line capability was deferred until Cycle 9. In response to reviewer questions, a modified figure was prepared and presented as an addendum. Both documents are presented here as a single PDF.
Description
