Milky Way formation, parallaxes

Zolotov passed her candidacy exam today, after a very nice presentation on issues with understanding the formation of the Milky way, theoretically and observationally.

Lang and I finished the parallax (and proper motion) code, fitting the multi-epoch images from the SDSS Southern Stripe. It works. Time to write. I hope we confirm my high proper-motion, very red objects.
