Checklist for ALMA optimized imaging workflow:

  1. Determine when there is a new image dataset to review (how will this be done without the workflow manager - DAs to check for new products directories??)
  2. In the pilot, only channel widths and ranges can be set, so QA should be focused on those, along with general QA issues:
    1. Was the restoration of the calibration successful?
    2. Does the cube as made cover the region of interest requested by the PI (in the PPR). If large parts of the cube are blank, and/or a line is cut off at the edge of the cube the DA should consult with the PI by initiating a helpdesk ticket.
    3. Does the rms noise in a line-free channel match the theoretical estimate from the pipeline (to within 10% for bands 3-6, 15% for bands 7-8 and 20% for bands 9-10)?
    4. Are there artifacts in the image suggesting that target flagging is needed? If so, flag the data and rerun the PPR.
    5. Is the continuum subtraction satisfactory?
