We present preliminary results of the high resolution $ (0.10^{primeprime} times 0.15^{primeprime}) $ observations of the high mass star forming region S255IR with ALMA in several spectral windows from ~ 335 GHz to ~ 350 GHz. The main target lines were C$^{34}$S(7-6), CH$_3$CN($19_K-18_K$), CO(3-2) and SiO(8-7), however many other lines of various molecules have been detected, too. We present sample spectra and maps, discuss briefly the source structure and kinematics. A new, never predicted methanol maser line has been discovered.

We describe the general structure of the well known S255IR high mass star forming region, as revealed by our recent ALMA observations. The data indicate a physical relation of the major clumps SMA1 and SMA2. The driving source of the extended high ve locity well collimated bipolar outflow is not the most pronounced disk-like SMA1 clump harboring a 20 M$_odot$ young star (S255 NIRS3), as it was assumed earlier. Apparently it is the less evolved SMA2 clump, which drives the outflow and contains a compact rotating structure (probably a disk). At the same time the SMA1 clump drives another outflow, with a larger opening angle. The molecular line data do not show an outflow from the SMA3 clump (NIRS1), which was suggested by IR studies of this region.
The massive young stellar object S255IR NIRS3 embedded in the star forming core SMA1 has been recently observed with a luminosity burst, which is conjectured as a disc-mediated variable accretion event. In this context, it is imperative to characteri ze the gas properties around the massive young stellar object. With this in mind, we carried out high angular resolution observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter and submillimeter Array and imaged the 900 $mu m$ dust continuum and the CH$_3$CN $J$=19$-$18 $K$=0$-$10 transitions of S255IR SMA1. The integrated CH$_3$CN emission exhibits an elongated feature with an extent of 1800 au in the northwest-southeast direction at a position angle of 165 degree, which is nearly perpendicular to the bipolar outflow. We confirm the presence of dense (a few $times 10^{9}$ cm$^{-3}$) and hot ($sim$ 400 K) gas immediately surrounding the central protostar. The CH$_3$CN emission features a velocity gradient along the elongated ridge and by modelling the gas kinematics based on features in the position-velocity diagram, we infer that the gas is best described by a flattened rotating infalling envelope (or pseudo-disc). A mass infall rate of a few $times$ 10$^{-4}$ solar-mass per year is derived. If there exists a putative Keplerian disc directly involved in the mass accretion onto the star and jet/outflow launching, it is likely smaller than 125 au and unresolved by our observations. We show qualitative resemblances between the gas properties (such as density and kinematics) in 255IR SMA1 inferred from our observations and those in a numerical simulation particularly tailored for studying the burst mode of massive star formation.
We report the results of subparsec-scale submillimeter observations towards an embedded high-mass young stellar object in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with ALMA. Complementary infrared data obtained with the AKARI satellite and the Gemini South t elescope are also presented. The target infrared point source is spatially resolved into two dense molecular cloud cores; one is associated with a high-mass young stellar object (YSO core), while another is not associated with an infrared source (East core). The two cores are dynamically associated but show different chemical characteristics. Emission lines of CS, C33S, H2CS, SO, SO2, CH3OH, H13CO+, H13CN, SiO, and dust continuum are detected from the observed region. Tentative detection of HDS is also reported. The first detection of CH3OH in the SMC has a strong impact on our understanding of the formation of complex organic molecules in metal-poor environments. The gas temperature is estimated to be ~10 K based on the rotation analysis of CH3OH lines. The fractional abundance of CH3OH gas in the East core is estimated to be (0.5-1.5) x 10^(-8), which is comparable with or marginally higher than those of similar cold sources in our Galaxy despite a factor of five lower metallicity in the SMC. This work provides observational evidence that an organic molecule like CH3OH, which is largely formed on grain surfaces, can be produced even in a significantly lower metallicity environment compared to the solar neighborhood. A possible origin of cold CH3OH gas in the observed dense core is discussed.

The Atacama Large Millimeter-Submillimeter Array (ALMA) has opened a new window for studying the Sun via high-resolution high-sensitivity imaging at millimeter wavelengths. In this contribution I review the capabilities of the instrument for solar ob serving and describe the extensive effort taken to bring the possibility of solar observing with ALMA to the scientific community. The first solar ALMA observations were carried out during 2014 and 2015 in two ALMA bands, Band 3 (3 mm) and Band 6 (1.3 mm), in single-dish and interferometric modes, using single pointing and mosaicing observing techniques, with spatial resolution up to 2arcsec and 1arcsec in the two bands, respectively. I overview several recently published studies which made use of the first solar ALMA observations, describe current status of solar observing with ALMA and briefly discuss the future capabilities of the instrument.
We present ALMA band-7 data of the [CII] $lambda157.74,mu{rm m}$ emission line and underlying far-infrared (FIR) continuum for twelve luminous quasars at $z simeq 4.8$, powered by fast-growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Our total sample consis ts of eighteen quasars, twelve of which are presented here for the first time. The new sources consists of six Herschel/SPIRE detected systems, which we define as FIR-bright sources, and six Herschel/SPIRE undetected systems, which we define as FIR-faint sources. We determine dust masses for the quasars hosts of $M_{dust} le 0.2-25.0times 10^8 M_{odot}$, implying ISM gas masses comparable to the dynamical masses derived from the [CII] kinematics. It is found that on average the MgII line is blueshifted by $sim 500,{rm km,s}^{-1}$ with respect to the [CII] emission line, which is also observed when complementing our observations with data from the literature. We find that all of our FIR-bright subsample and most of the FIR-faint objects lie above the main sequence of star forming galaxies at $z sim 5$. We detect companion sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs) for two sources, both FIR-faint, with a range of projected distances of $sim20-60$ kpc and with typical velocity shifts of $left|Delta vright| lesssim200,{rm km,s}^{-1}$ from the quasar hosts. Of our total sample of eighteen quasars, 5/18 are found to have dust obscured starforming companions.
