IC417 : using WISE, 2MASS, Spitzer/Warm IRAC, UKIDSS, IPHAS, and literature optical data to look for young stars in the IC417 region.
One of my students at Niles West had become interested in GRBs as we thought they were the results of mergers of black holes [but we learned this was wrong at an AAS plenary talk]. My student thought it was interesting that scientists could change their minds about how things worked.
I felt as if I was on a treasure hunt to identify new methods of confirming redshift values for our candidate cluster members.
[At the AAS,] All the talks I attended were truly interesting. It is pleasure to have others teach me!
