Probing the Thermal Universe at the Highest Spatial and Spectral Resolutions: ALMA WSU and the ngVLA
Members of the NAASC and the ngVLA SAC will host a special lunchtime session at the annual meeting of the Canadian Astronomical Society (CASCA). This session will include introductions to these two facilities, followed by an update on the scope, capabilities and timeline of the ALMA Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade and the ngVLA's current status and paths to Canadian partnership. Both ALMA and ngVLA were prioritized in the 2020 Canadian Long Range Plan for Astronomy.
