Topic: Couple of papers...

[sam]

This is really one for Clive, but thought others might be interested (well in the first one, something todo with kids )... I've had two papers accepted recently (the first I probably already mentioned, but its now public)

Extrasolar Planets in the classroom: http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.5690 (published journal version: http://iopscience.iop.org/0031-9120/46/4/004)


Detection Thresholds and Bias Correction in Polarized Intensity: http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5362 - this one tells people how to actually find sources :-)

Well done, Sam .

[sam]

I'm trying to get 5 first author papers this year/5 collaboration papers. I'm on 2 accepted and 3 in latish drafts.. so it's all going well. Its all about numbers in this buisness at times.

oh and thanks :-)

[Clive]

Yes, many congratulations Sam.  It's not at all easy to get papers published with the stringent peer review put in place by the universities.  And Cornell is Ivy League!  Will I be able to access the full papers through Simbad? 

[Rodders]

Yeah, neato!   

[sam]

Will I be able to access the full papers through Simbad? 

I'd have thought so, but the full papers should be available from the arxiv link abliet in the preprint version.

[Clive]

Thanks Sam.  You sent me a copy of the extrasolar preprint some rime ago and I printed it out to read.  The second paper is way beyond my level of understanding!    

[sam]

I'll have to come and give you all a talk on it 

[Clive]

That would be great Sam!   

[sam]

well I'd talk more about cosmic magnetism and developments with the world's largest telescope.

It has been a while since I've been over to you lot.

[Clive]

It's been ages!  We could arrange a date for autumn 2012. 

[sam]

sounds like a plan.

[Clive]

 

[sam]

we could do sooner... but not too soon...

[GillE]

I thought you astrophysicists were masters of time ?
