Today Jennifer Johnson (OSU) crashed the weekly Manhattan-area SDSS-V discussion meeting to give us the current state of Milky Way Mapper (a component of SDSS-V) target selection. It was a great discussion, because there are many, many target categories, and many of them are interesting to Manhattan-area locals. For me the most impressive thing about the meeting was that Johnson could answer almost any question from anyone on any of the literally dozens of target categories! It was a tour de force as they say. And we learned a lot. One of my goals with this meeting (which was started and is operated by Katie Breivik, Flatiron) is to increase excitement in Manhattan for SDSS-V and Johnson did that admirably.
