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 :) .
-
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 :-)
-
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?
-
Yeah, neato! (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv300%2FMothballs%2FSmileys%2Fthumb02.gif&hash=2d14b995f3096e3edaf80c64c56d0c1153239193)

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.
-
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! :laugh:
-
I'll have to come and give you all a talk on it :crazy:
-
That would be great Sam! ;D
-
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.
-
It's been ages! We could arrange a date for autumn 2012.
-
sounds like a plan.
-
:arf:
-
we could do sooner... but not too soon...
-
I thought you astrophysicists were masters of time ;) ?
-
we are, just not our own.
-
I've booked up until September 2012 Sam - apart from March 2012 but I will be away for that date so I won't be able to collect you from the station or put you up in the flat.
-
look at you go! That's pretty good planning.... well we will have to look at autumn 2012 then. By then we should have some SKA pathfinder results to talk about :-) I was actually hoping someone might invite me to give a talk at the FAS convention, but alas no.
-
You should have dropped a massive hint to whoever is organising the meeting Sam. When I was meetings organiser I would have given my eye teeth to have had a volunteer!
-
I did. Oh well. I made sure I'd volunteered if a backup was needed. Its not like I'm not across the road or anything. Pah.
-
Incidentally who is the Meetings Organiser these days?
-
Steve Williams - I think he joined the committee well after you left. Long time ago now eh? Lots of the same faces though - you should check out the new events diary I unleashed yesterday
-
You are correct, I don't know him. Which society does he belong to? I received your mailing list yesterday. For some reason I was never removed from the council members list, but they are always sent out to all members the following day anyway.
-
Oh I can remove you unless you like the gossip. Expect another one of me in a few days explaining how the new society diary is the dogs bollock
-
I don't mind one way or the other Sam. But it must reminiscent of Victorian palaentologists discovering dinosaurs for the first time.
