HST search group,
When we recover from the lack of sleep, we should address steps for the
near term. First though, we should pat ourselves on the back for a
great job! let me be the first to acknowledge the really heroic
efforts of Rob and Rachel in making this first search a great success!
And the group here at LBL (including several first-time searchers)
worked round the clock for three days with hard work that paid off in
great success.
I think everyone knows the outcome: In brief, we whittled the
candidates down to a short list of a handful and then did decide this
morning to initiate a ToO for followup of candidate acs04-076 for
which the host photo-z is 1.6. (!!!). We're doing follow-up scenario F
(z, J, H + grism). See the WIKI page for more info on the candidates.
I'm still too tired to think straight, but we should think about how
we'll handle releasing the results of the search for the short term. As
the search was done in coordination with Adam, Saul and Rob may need to
work out some dissemination plan with him. Do we put the candidates on
a public page? or just share it between the two teams? we'll need
to see which candidates we release and what information we put there.
Do we want to put out a circular - on the short term so people could
follow some of the nearby ones? or do we wait on that?
Maybe Rob and Saul can propose a dissemination plan - we can try to
have conference call if needed, or do it by e-mail.
When the dust settles, I'm sure we'll want to have a post-mortem - but
that can wait.
for now, let's recover!
-Tony
