    Detectives,

    Thanks to your hard work, we won four nights of observing time during the spring trimester on the
    Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory Tillinghast 60 inch telescope.

    We'll be using the FAST spectrograph to take spectra of our favorite targets--about 200 of them if the weather
    cooperates! http://linmax.sao.arizona.edu/FLWO/60/fast.html

    Congrats everybody!! I thought we'd be lucky to get two nights.

    Since there have been much more probable debris disk candidates discovered since the proposal, will the list of 200 candidates be changed?

    I do not think, the list already was presented. We'll have to wait for another opportunity and create another list with new candidates.

    We're going to have to rethink the lists. For one, we got twice as much time as we asked for!

    We're going to need your help!

    But hold off for a bit. Let us look at what the classification data say and get back to y'all
    before we all start coming up with new follow-up lists.

    What kind of stars are the highest in the priority list?
