CAS is driving me crazy!

Just a wee post today since it'll be Friday night later...

Am achieving absolute nought due to a) the re-appearance of Frith (Durham until 2005) and b) the SDSS DR4 CAS just being incredibly slow. I'm sure it doesn't like me!! Think I've chosen the areas (and given them fancy Greek names) but not much use until I get the imaging downloaded.

Interesting Lunchtime talk today by Libeskind "What is HE0450-2958?", all about naked quasars and the possibility of a 3-body SMBH interaction kicking the smallest mass BH out of a mergering ULIRG system. Schurch asked about the presence of x-rays for HE0452-2958 as that could be the real give-away to what's going on.

Week tomorrow I'm flying to Hong Kong.
