A major goal of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is to make accurate images with resolutions tens milliarcseconds, which at submillimeter (submm) wavelengths requires baselines up ~15 km. To develop and test this capability, a Long Baseline Campaign (LBC) was carried out from September late November 2014, culminating in end-to-end observations, calibrations, imaging selected Science Verification (SV) targets. This paper presents an overview campaign its main results,...
