calibrating Euclid and Stripe 82

I worked with Holmes and Foreman-Mackey on calibration projects. With Holmes, we are finishing his thesis chapter on survey strategies optimized for photometric self-calibration. His results set the strategy for the Euclid proposed deep field strategy. With Foreman-Mackey, we are trying to convince ourselves that our super-robust multi-exposure calibration model is doing a good job at setting the photometric zero-points for Stripe 82. In the late afternoon, Nicholas Martin (MPIA) gave a nice talk about work on M31 satellites by Crystal Brasseur (MPIA, deceased).
