Suggest some targets for our May-Jun observing run!

• by marckuchner scientist, admin

  Detectives,

  We applied for two nights of observing time and we won four! So we need your help again picking targets. Here's a blog post with more details.

  And here's a the form to submit target suggestions!

  Congrats everybody! And thanks for your help.

  Best,
  Marc

  I heard that the next list of objects that can be classified are close to galactic plane. Does that mean that images from Spitzer data are also used?

  Spitzer only covered 3% of the sky. We might be able to add that data in--but it will only affect a few sources.

  Thanks for all the great candidates, everybody! I see 26 submissions so far.

  Considering the amount of objects looked through, estimated circumstellar disks, false negatives, false positives and objects that can be observed, I bet about 5 debris disks can be found in the first run. 5 more when southern objects can be observed.

  I think what is a good number, very possible.

  If Spitzer data gets integrated, then how small or large is Spitzer data's angular resolution compared to 2MASS or WISE?
