3. Frank leads a ZSDS paper

Science subjects:

Streaks/NEO: QZ & Frank have been experimenting with FindStreaks parameters and it looks like the algorithm’s performance has greatly improved. In the past few nights, 3 objects have been discovered. Emily will create a sign up sheet to find who can help with streak work.

Comets & Centaurs: Mike has written a slack app that creates a summary of last night’s ZTF comet observations in the ‘auto reports’ channel on Slack, with links to detailed measurements and reports. Let Mike or Dennis know if you have trouble setting this up. Comet photometry works qualitatively, but absolute values are currently off.

Asteroids: no updates

Telecon frequency: Telecons will be every two weeks. Next telecon is Monday 5/7 1930PM EST.
