Photometry + problems + flying to Brazil
So! Photometry goes on, problems are still there, not really sure if they are problems or nature, or both!!
Tonight flying to Brazil. 3 weeks there, some work, some fun, some solving the photometry problems!
Posting back in 3 weeks (most likely)!
Photometry, trip and problems
ACS photometry, something is wrong with the zero points, checking it! Always!
Also too much time downtown to get the last gifts to take home tonight and waiting for the delivery or the washing machine ...
Photometry and photometry ...
ACS photometry the whole day ... last night also and tonight a bit more!
Proposal + photometry + baby's check up
Today, on science, proposal (I'll sleep over it before sending it) and ACS photometry (that will keep on going tonight at home).
A couple of hours at the doctor for the baby's check up, all fine with Matheus and we did the 4D-Ultrasound exam, you can really see a 3D render of the baby in real time!!! Amazing!
Post 400!!
So! Post 400, quite a number!!!
The 400 post day was spent writing a telescope proposal (a resubmition, actually, but target selection and modifications on science and technical cases), discussing paper corrections and discussing other telescope proposals!!
Late for friday!
So, friday was a ACS photometry day ... still some way to go!!
Weekend, reading Miguel Verdugo's paper and arranging things for the new apartment, specially for Matheus room. We have to take the carpet out and put a laminated floor, that has to be installed now, got the furniture for his room, but mom still have to decide over some decoration and a cute light for the baby! :-) Also putting lights in the house with my good friend and saviour Lucas! :-)))
Now going ...
So, today I finished the preparation of the INT observation and sent it to out collaborator who will observe. Now going on with the preparation of the ESO observation, which is the same cluster I was working on before the moving, so that it's all related! Gotta redo some of the photometry that was not really ok, new using the ACS images, let's see if it improves.
Also kept on installing things on the Mac and played a bit with "google sky". Very nice!!! Tried to find a way to send them an e-mail suggesting improvements, but couldn't find! The number of catalogues it recognizes is too limited, it would be great if it could use the NED input system for that! Than HCG, for example, would be recognized! :-)))
Keep on walking ...
In the morning I gave my apartment back, what doesn't mean he won't come back to me ... yep. The landlord applied me the "Brother trick". Explaining: instead of going there, he sent his brother, who complained about things I had already spoken with the real landlord and all the important questions had "this I have to check with my brother" as an answer ... so, that means that if he wants something to be done, I'll get the flat back, do the repairs and give it back again. Let's see!
Also did the phone and electricity cancellation and transfer to the new address.
Work, in the afternoon, going on with the INT observation preparation, and the targets selection for the december run at ESO, a bit tricky one. And also making my new mac work as I want, installing things!
Done moving
Yes, done with the cleaning of the old flat, tomorrow we'll see if it's ok.
Re-rearranging the IDs for one cluster, now it's right. Also discussing the target selection for our observing run in december ...
Moving almost done ...
Observations were prepared and sent on friday and acknowledged today. Done.
Friday had to run home to finish packing ... which last until 3:30, then the next day getting the van very early, moving and the whole weekend and today in the morning cleaning the apartment. Tomorrow still gotta go there to see if some stuff got "loose" with the cleaning product I left for a whole day ... hehehehehe
Today correcting the numbering for one of the clusters, different versions of the previous work ...
