    • Mickael to send plots for SNID spectroscopy
    • Joel to send plots on velocity correlations
  • Potential additions:
    • Add information on other surveys that are using our confirmed SN
    • Highlight the need for photometric typing and spectroscopy
    • Future work: extinction laws and distribution from reddened SN
  • Mat to chat to Jakob and Joel later in the week
  • Slides to be circulated nearer the time

Transients of the Week:

• Fritz now has a 'z_err' column: woop! Next step: filling it
• Fritz also now highlights the TNS name if available
• ZTF21abbsbov: classified, but has a low SNIaScore
• ZTF21abcgaln: TNS classification, but more likely Ib/c
• ZTF21aaxzkfe: Strange Ia: could be Ib/c?
• ZTF21aaxhzru: Has an early excess?

Closing Remarks:

• See everyone at the collaboarion meeting next week!
