PRIMUS redshifts, galaxy morphologies

Vicariously I worked on PRIMUS redshifts with Morad, who is adapting Blanton's kcorrect code to fit redshifts to the ultra-low resolution spectroscopy we are taking with IMACS on Magellan. Why ultra-low? Because we can fit far more spectra into the field and take far more redshifts per hour than anyone else. We hope.

I worked also with Quintero on getting set up to look at galaxy morphologies in cluster infall regions. I am excited, because—unlike with many projects—we have no idea what we are going to find. Usually we have some clue.

I am also doing astrometry.net stuff, but today it occupied my brain at nice +19.
