amusing find: a lot of the literature uses kilojanskys, but doesn't label them as such

...I swear, I just found an error in a table in a 22 year old paper
<whitequark>
how many people read an average paper, again?
<raptop>
Fun fact: it has errata for a different part of the paper
<raptop>
...ADS claims that this paper was cited 1131 times
<whitequark>
ok my question stands
<raptop>
oof
<raptop>
I'd *assume* a fair number, and the "lots of papers no one reads" problem is more in the humanities than STEM

Then again, they (Bessel, Casteli, and Plez 1998) complain about unknown infrared excess around Vega messing up modeling and calibration. The dust/cometary debris was found by IRAS in the early 1980s. (...and rediscovered in the late 2010s I think?)

i only ever encounter ounces when it's weed-related
<whitequark>
and i can't figure out what are you gonna do with milligrams of weed.
<raptop>
it's actually sort of weird that I never use ounces (weight) for cooking purposes
<raptop>
well, eg: I tend to got coffee in ~30-40 oz cans, but end up measuring out volumes
* raptop
should probably get a kitchen scale at some point
<raptop>
It's mostly EM I being the barrier. Not sure anyone takes EM II who isn't specifically doing related stuff
<SnoopJeDi>
yea, much the same here

Hrm, extinction models often require a bunch of empirical corrections and some components have rapid time variation. This is going to make an arbitrary site one difficult to make accurate
<raptop>
Also that apparently typical constants are locked in two books I can barely find descriptions of don't help
<raptop>
(extinction as in atmospheric scattering/absorption, not inbound asteroids)
