Big Picture
There are three things I'd like to accomplish before our visit:
(1) Start thinking about the issues of spatial resolution. I developed a worksheet for this for last year's group, and I have updated it for you.
(2) We should read in detail and discuss a short list of carefully selected papers. We'll rotate through our short list of papers, and each of you will get one to present to the group. This is modelling a so-called "journal club", a common occurrence in astronomy departments/groups/centers, where the papers are usually selected out of recent astro-ph mailings. The papers that went into this list came out of the lists you assembled while writing the proposal. We have roughly sorted them into bins -- ones you want to read closely for the astronomy and astrophysics background, and/or for the interpretation, and/or for the big picture... ones from which you need to scavenge data, and you need to read enough to understand what it was they did, and what kinds of data they are reporting... ones you might read if you have time ... and ones you can ignore.
(3) Actually doing the data scavenging out of those papers mentioned above.

It would be ideal if we could get through this in time for our visit. That way we can spend most of our visit doing new and interesting things rather than trying to finish the source matching stuff.
If we roar through that, we can start doing some of the "test case" training that I think we will end up doing at the summer visit.
C-CWEL Spring Calendar
Spatial Resolution
- C-CWEL Resolution Worksheet - NOW updated for 2013
- C-WAYS Resolution Worksheet - last year's version
Journal Club
C-CWEL Source Matching Work
As of Feb 22, 2013, C-CWEL Source Matching Work has been mostly updated from the C-WAYS version.
(C-WAYS source matching work - last year's version. Ours will be easier because we have more modern stuff in the literature.)
