Today was not the first-ever Blanton–Hogg group meeting. But it was the first ever for me, since I missed the first two for health and travel reasons. It was great! Tardugno (NYU) showed simulations of gas disks with embedded planets. The planets affect the disk, and the disk causes the planets to interact. Daunt (NYU) showed that his method for inferring (simultaneously) the spectrum, tellurics, and radial velocities in stellar spectra all works. I am stoked! Novara (NYU) showed that he has a bug in his code! But we had a good discussion inspired by that bug about surfaces of section in a real dynamics problem. Gandhi (NYU) showed us a paper with questionable claims about the CMB light passing through galaxy halos?
