Difference: Minutes041018 ( vs. 1)

Kevin: Further improved DBSP pipeline in far blue. Wrapping up population paper now.

Nina: Has been observing a lot on Keck using ESI to measure the radial velocities of RR Layrae stars. They have several hundred objects in their sample.

Alberto: Will be going back to France for the next two weeks and return the day of the Gaia data release. Gaia estimates between 1.3 and 1.4 billion objects will have parallaxes. There will be papers published soon on how to carefully calculate distances from these parallaxes.

Wendy: Will do a trail project on pulsators
