Abstract
We present here a report on the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) development efforts under consideration at ALMA as new offerings in Cycle 10. These activities are being carried out under the ALMA North America Development Project known as the ALMA Phasing Project Phase 3 (APP3). The two VLBI priorities previously identified for Cycle 10 by the ObsMode process are: (1) spectral line VLBI with flexible tuning; (2) panchromatic VLBI for spectral line and continuum (Bands 1, 3, 6 and 7, with provisions for extension to any other band). This document provides an overview of the development, testing, and readiness of these capabilities. Some updates on minor development efforts are also provided.
Description
This report was prepared for the formal acceptance of the software required for Cycle 10. Notionally it is ALMA Technical Note #25, but not published (yet) as such.
