Preparing for ALMA First Science

The Submillimeter Array has been in operations on Mauna Kea since 2004.  Many interesting and important results have been obtained in that time including planetary studies, dusty circumstellar disks, extremely collimated molecular outflows, circumnuclear disks in nearby galaxies, magnetic fields via dust polarization studies, and dark submillimeter galaxies at high red shifts.  These studies are paving the say for the first science projects to be attempted on ALMA, currently under construction in the Atacama Desert.  I will show some of our latest results.
