ESO deadline last week. As per usual, I had more ideas then I knew what to do with. Four proposals submitted as PI. All spectroscopy. Huh.
Interesting question posed by Adam Muzzin: is it even possible for a TAC to approve at this many proposals from the same person? I think so. None of them are particularly egregious regarding requested time. Still it may go against any group think grain. But I have enough faith in the members of the astronomical community to not succumb to that kind of reasoning.

end of the VIMOS pipeline
Resubmitted my paper on IFU observations with VIMOS on the VLT today. Finally.
VIMOS pipeline has some...interesting...documentation. I finally figured out what happened to my data. With the final steps in place, the IFU data nicely shows the extinction curves in my distant occulting pair. Earlier this week I submitted another paper IFU, this time already nicely reduced by the CALIFA team. Also with extinction curves. Occulting galaxies still rock.
They'll turn me into a spectroscopist yet. Now I just need a finer-sampling, wider FOV, longer spectral coverage IFU to do the remaining 2000 with...
