Atmospheric conditions, total flux and rms for the simulated observations at 140 pc and at different observing wavelengths.

Notes. The pwv value takes into account the expected conditions for ALMA. The simulated images use the full ALMA configuration, but the antenna configuration is chosen to ensure the best agreement between resolution and sensitivity.
