reducing and assembling spectroscopic data

As per usual, Tuesdays are low-research days! But I did get in some time with Heather Knutson (Caltech) on her spectra of directly imaged exoplanets and brown dwarfs. We had a call with her team in California to discuss what's involved in getting together all the data we'd ideally like to have assembled. Of course it takes time: Spectroscopists expect that a night of good data might take many days to reduce and get into useable form. We discussed a bit how we might make all that more efficient. But making that efficient is not our priority, at least not right now. Eventually!
