Summary of the Third ALMA Phasing Project (APP) Commissioning and Science Verification Mission: 2015 July 28-August 3

Abstract

The primary objective for the third APP CSV campaign was to perform intercontinental Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) fringe tests between phased ALMA and remote stations in Band 3, Band 6, and (conditions permitting) Band 7. Secondary objectives included preparations for making the APS available to the community for ALMA Cycle 4 and training ALMA staff in the operation of the ALMA Phasing System (APS). This is a report of those activities.
