Hi Vallery,
Yes, the extraction is still done with aXe. And
I'll be doing this as well when we take data so that we can
be more confident about the calibration.
You and I both still need to re-extract Adam Riess'
z=1.3 spectrum from last year to make sure we understand
what he did and whether it's correct. Obviously, I've been
working on other aspects of the search up to now, but I do
have Adam's data coadded and ready to extract. My version
ot that will happen next week when I'm back at LBL.
Cheers,
Rachel
