This page will be used to assemble the pieces for the proposal we are writing.
A consolidation of all sorts of useful links.
Previous Teams' pages
IC 2118 Current Research Activities (2004-2008), Lynds Clouds Current Research Activities (2008), and CG4 Current Research Activities (2010)
Also see Working with L1688 (A sample analysis thread using Lynds 1688, developed in the context of the Lynds Cloud team) and Working with CG4+SA101, an adaptation of "Working with L1688", with specific application to that project.
This page will be used to collect information during our work in Spring.
Here's a brief outline File:NITARPpreview.docx of things to look at before going to SSC … but we will go through all of this in more detail. Links to corresponding wiki pages are embedded within the document.

This page will be used to collect logistics information about our IPAC visit.
We talked about traveling 05-July, work 06-09 July and travel home on 10-July. --CJohnson 12:40, 2 February 2011 (PST)
In past years, I've found that "why are we doing this, again?" is a pretty frequent question ...
More of a step-by-step thing, but please don't make the mistake of thinking this is a cookbook.
Notes and results from our work in the Fall, where "Fall" means "any time after our visit in July". :)
