Can I make a single dish observation in Cycle 2?

Authors list

Single-dish observing modes are available for Cycle 2 using the Total Power (TP) Array as part of the ALMA Compact Array (ACA). However, the use of the TP Array is limited to spectral line observations in Bands 3–8. No TP Array Band 9 observations are offered for this cycle. However, the single dish capabilities afforded with the TP Array can only be used in conjunction with the full 12-m Array and not as a stand-alone capability. Please refer to section A.4 “ACA” in Appendix A “ALMA Cycle 2 Capabilities” of the ALMA Cycle 2 Proposer's Guide for details.
