Overview
This tutorial presents a simulation of ALMA observations of a well-known galaxy, M51, as it would be observed at redshift z = 0.1.
The goal of this tutorial is to provide a complete run-through of a relatively simple simulation. Included in this simulation are the effects of (u, v) sampling of a 50-antenna ALMA and thermal noise levels appropriate for the ALMA site. Not included are calibration overheads, there is no nodding to a nearby phase calibrator, for example; nor phase noise
