statistics and language

At group meeting, Eyal Kazin (NYU) told us about measurements of the redshift-space, projected two-dimensional, and comoving-space correlation functions of LRGs in the current SDSS sample. He has a beautiful detection of the baryon acoustic feature even in the projected function! This means that it has great signal-to-noise in the overall data. After Kazin, I spoke about my statistical work on proper motions.

In the afternoon, much work was done (largely by email) on the language and writing of the USNO-B cleaning paper among Lang, Barron, and me. We made good progress on language and presentation issues.
