The “Archival Large Program to Advance Kinematic Analysis” (ALPAKA) is a project based on high-resolution observations of CO and [CI] emission lines of star-forming galaxies at z=0.5−3.5 from the Atacama Large Millimiter Array (ALMA) public archive. Its combination with a wealth of ancillary data makes it the first and largest multi-wavelength high-resolution survey of galaxies at z>0.5, spanning 7 Gyr of cosmic history.
