CARMA Memoranda

The CARMA Memorandum Series contains technical and scientific memoranda relevant to CARMA and mm-wave interferometry. Below, we have provided LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates. To submit a CARMA memo, send an email to Marc Pound containing:
  1. The title, author(s), and abstract of your memo in ASCII
  2. The memo as an attachment. The formats must be PDF, PostScript, or ASCII. You may also attach a second copy in the native format.
CARMA memos may also be BIMA or ALMA memos. Please indicate if your memo has also been accepted as such.
