Observational rates under terahertz (THz) opacities less than 3.0 and 2.0 at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) site have been calculated using the 225 GHz tipping radiometer monitoring data and the opacity correlation between 225 GHz and THz opacities. The observational rate with THz opacity condition less than 3.0 is 12.4% in a year, and in winter (November - April) it is about twice higher than in summer (May - October). This observational rate shows a large sinusoidal annual variation, and it seems to have relation with the El Ni~no and La Ni~na phenomena; the La Ni~na years tend to have high observational rates, but the El Ni~no years show low rates. On the other hand, the observational rate with the THz opacity condition less than 2.0 is only 1.9%, and no obvious annual and seasonal variations are observed. This indicates that THz observations under low opacity condition of less than 2.0 at the ALMA site are very difficult to be performed.

In this article, we present a detailed analysis of the statistical properties of seeing for the Muztagh-ata site which is the candidate site for hosting future Chinese Large Optical/infrared Telescope (LOT) project. The measurement was obtained with
Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) from April 2017 to November 2018 at different heights during different periods. The median seeing at 11 meters and 6 meters are very close but different significantly from that on the ground. We mainly analyzed the seeing at 11 meters monthly and hourly, having found that the best season for observing was from late autumn to early winter and seeing tended to improve during the night only in autumn. The analysis of the dependence on temperature inversion, wind speed, direction also was made and the best meteorological conditions for seeing is given.
We present a detailed description of the special procedures for calibration and quality assurance of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations in Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) mode. These procedures are required to t
urn the phased ALMA array into a fully calibrated VLBI station. As an illustration of these methodologies, we present full-polarization observations carried out with ALMA as a phased array at 3mm (Band 3) and 1.3mm (Band 6) as part of Cycle-4. These are the first VLBI science observations conducted with ALMA and were obtained during a 2017 VLBI campaign in concert with other telescopes worldwide as part of the Global mm-VLBI Array (GMVA, April 1-3) and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT, April 5-11) in ALMA Bands 3 and 6, respectively.
Site-testing is crucial for achieving the goal of scientific research and analysis of meteorological and optical observing conditions is one of the basic tasks of it. As one of three potential sites to host 12-meter Large Optical/infrared Telescope (
LOT), Muztagh-ata site which is located on the Pamirs Plateau in west Chinas Xinjiang began its site-testing task in the spring of 2017. In this paper, we firstly start with an introduction to the site and then present a statistical analysis of the ground-level meteorological properties such as air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, recorded by automatic weather station with standard meteorological sensors for two-year long. We also show the monitoring results of sky brightness during this period.
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.
We present the results of ALMA observations of dust continuum emission and molecular rotational lines toward a dense core, MC27 (aka L1521F), which is considered to be very close to the first core phase. We revealed the spatial/velocity structures of
the core are very complex and and suggest that the initial condition of star formation is highly dynamical.
