<li>BIMA is no more: it was superseded by <a href="http://www.mmarray.org/">CARMA</a>. However, even CARMA is no more... (there doesn't seem to be much going on in terms of millimetre interferometry these days.)</li>
<li>BIMA data is reduced with <a href="http://carma.astro.umd.edu/miriad/" title="Multichannel Image Reconstruction, Image Analysis and Display ">MIRIAD</a>. Note that BIMA data should be reduced with the older V3 series of MIRIAD. CARMA data reduction should use V4.</li>
