AAS: Taking it one STAGES at a time
This morning has been insanely busy; rewriting my talk which I’m giving tomorrow in the light of the results of the Galaxy Zoo bias study hasn’t helped. (You can see the latest here.) I did manage to sit in on an excellent press conference this morning though; the highlight was the results from the STAGES survey of a galaxy supercluster. Pamela sums up my feelings here. Oh, and there was a double Einstein ring, too.

Fascinated by the insight into the voting of the zoo participants. I would have thought
instead of a scattergraph, results might be grouped to provide a line which moves from
plus to minus. The shape might give extra information not that I can think what. I see you
have to think out all sorts of biases. A new science here perhaps more interesting than
boring old galaxies. (joke!).
