Comparison of papers published based on data from different observatories

ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, reached an important milestone in April 2018 with the publication of the 1000th peer-reviewed paper using ALMA data. The paper was Spatial variations in Titan's atmospheric temperature: ALMA and Cassini comparisons from 2012 to 2015 by Alexander E. Thelen et al. — which presents a detailed investigation of the atmospheric temperature of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. This plot compares the growth of ALMA papers through the years since science operations began with other facilities, both on the ground and in space.
