stacking residuals?

In an extremely rare event, I finished a paper! Well, a second draft anyway. The plan is to submit next week. This is my paper with Eilers (MPIA) and Rix (MPIA) on spectrophotometric distances.

Other research today included a conversation with Bedell (Flatiron) about how to look at telluric variability in the wobble residuals. In general the residuals are informative! More thoughts about that happened late in the day with Ben Pope (NYU) who had ideas about stacking the wobble residuals in the planet or companion rest frame to find interesting things for different kinds of companions.

And I had a long conversation with Anderson (Flatiron) about applying variational inference to dust or extinction estimates in the Milky Way. We are making a proposal to David Blei (Columbia) and his group to start a collaboration along these lines.
