Day 3 of GPRV continued great! There were a few talks and discussions of very young stars that got everyone in the room quite excited, from Di Maio (INAF), Suárez Mascareño (IAC), and Nielsen (Oxford). The activity signals are huge, but the planets are extremely interesting, so how do we approach this? Tons of of observing time? Cleverness? Give up? Of course I think it is so important to understand how planetary systems form and evolve, I would be willing to spend the telescope time.
In the morning, Luger (Flatiron) gave a seminar and then a tutorial about modeling stellar surfaces and predicting spectroscopic quantities. The tutorial was fun; his code Starry does everything an astronomer could want, and beautifully (and, of course, blazingly fast). We had fun playing with it in a group hacking session.
