🔪 RAVE DR5. All that, and I got an incomplete set of stellar parameters for at most 1 star.
* UmbralRaptor
🔪 MNRAS in the paywall, and Fuhrmann et al in not submitting an arXiv preprint.
<UmbralRaptor>
And of course, it's not clear that they submitted anything to VizieR.
* UmbralRaptor
hugs the other diapsid website.
* UmbralRaptor
🔪 Fuhrmann et al again. Did you seriously not include a (CSV or FITS) table with those parameters that you graphed, and seem to have gotten from spectra you took?

is probably going to suggest GJ to random people who just want the closest stars. Even if it's missing LTY dwarfs, and one 4-5 pc away M7V.

<SnoopJeDi>
ah fuck me, they're proposing eliminating ARPA-E, too. That's a big funding source for us rn, we've been working on cable technology
<bofh>
Wait, they're trying to can ARPA-E *again*?!? FFS.
<UmbralRaptor>
Discretionary cuts proposed savings: <$50 billion. So, 2%?
<UmbralRaptor>
"[in 2030] we've found countless exoplanets from JWST and TESS"
<UmbralRaptor>
No, Lightfoot, JWST won't do that sort of survey. WFIRST would.
<SnoopJeDi>
I mean *maybe* if there was a specific recommendation of what to *do* that aligned with scientific community review (a mid-decadal survey I guess? idk how it works in astro) it'd make sense beyond pure politics
<SnoopJeDi>
the NASA stuff, I mean. I can't see how you square the circle on ARPA-E with all the blabbing about infrastructure
<UmbralRaptor>
There are recommendations (2010 decadal survey, 2015 midterm report)
<soundnfury>
the sad part is that all the actual space & science missions could be paid for with just a tiny haircut to entitlement spending OR corporate welfare
<soundnfury>
but neither of those will ever get cut -_-
<bofh>
entitlement spending?
<soundnfury>
"regular welfare"
<soundnfury>
SocSec, medicare, etc.
