BIMA Memoranda Index
We have instituted a BIMA Memoranda Series for technical and
scientific memoranda relevant to BIMA. This should encourage
communication and collaboration between the BIMA institutes
(see also the
ALMA memo series
and the
SMA memo series).
There is no formal refereeing system. We merely ask that the memos be
relevant to BIMA, and that the authors will not object to their memos
being made available to all users. All memos are available as abstracts. Some are available in full text
in various formats.
To submit a memo, send the abstract as ASCII and the text as PDF, PostScript,
HTML, or LaTeX to Marc Pound or Peter Teuben.
We will assign the memo number.
If you don't find what you are looking for here, check with
Mel Wright's home page for any latest modifications that have not
yet made it into this list.
