CM4Seyferts (Color-Magnitude for Seyferts): Using ultraviolet images from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite and optical images and spectra from the ground based Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to find a correlation between the color and luminosity of the hot gas around supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.
I just think experiencing a conference of this size and magnitude is terrific.
The experience has changed my understanding of astronomy and how it is done, but not of astronomers.
While a lot of astronomy is done by computer, nothing compares to having a human look over the data.
