The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey

Getting started in ALFALFA

This page is intended to provide a framework for getting students involved in the ALFALFA team collaboration. It is a work in progress. To ALFALFA visitors: you are welcome to use these pages if they are helpful to you, but CAVEAT EMPTOR!

An introduction to the Arecibo Telescope
An introduction to Radio Astronomy and using ALFA for ALFALFA
In order to study the other components (stars, dust, etc.) of the galaxies which ALFALFA detects, we make heavy use of other extragalactic surveys and databases

For members of the ALFALFA team

These are less well developed and specific to members of the team.

An introduction to reducing ALFALFA data using the CU EGG IDL package.
We also are in the process of compiling useful science links.
