UEFA Co-efficients

But first Luminosity Functions. There have been calls from Shanks to produce a LF for the AAOmega data. Now after having a wee chat with Wake, there are two levels to this. The first is that it is (relatively) easy to perform a 1/Vmax calculation and get a LF. However, this on its own isn't a great scientific achievement. What you want to do is compare this number and see how the LF evolves. This is the second level and comparing AAOmega LRGs to 2SLAQ LRGs could be done but the delta_lookback time is <1 Gyr which in astronomy terms is nothing. Comparing AAOmega LRGs to SDSS LRGs would be sweet but is going to be nigh on impossible.

Meanwhile, I've been figuring out how the hell UEFA work out their seedings in the European and UEFA Cup. Have a wee gander here.
