back to work

Whew! I didn't want to go three days without something. I helped Hou find the SDSS-III MARVELS data; and later in the day Bovy pointed out to me that we could do a fast project with them based on our predictions of Hipparcos star radial velocities (from our moving groups work). I had lunch with Jagannath, where we talked about the origins of tidal streams (and the collapse of the wave function, which I am suspicious never happens). This afternoon, Price-Whelan and I got robust median-absolute-difference estimates for image noise implemented because we want to be very robust and very precise in our analysis of the noise in commercial digital camera images.
