streams and inference

I spent my research time today getting ready a short note to share with Andreas Kuepper (Bonn) regarding likelihoods for comparing models of kinematic objects with observations of collections of particles (like stars) in a kinematic space. This is all related to fitting better models for cold stellar streams (and other structures) in the Milky Way halo. At the end of the day I sent him what I have, which I am very much hoping will be the skeleton of a future paper, perhaps also with Marla Geha (Yale).
