I was just in this session, but then I was ejected. Now I am told I cannot enter, since another meeting is in progress. Could you please let me back in? I am one of the speakers.
Natasha Abrams Tue 2020-08-11 01:17PM
I'm also having trouble joining. It says there's another meeting in progress
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 01:17PM
I can't get in either
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 01:21PM
I got back in, but then was ejected again!
Natasha Abrams Tue 2020-08-11 01:21PM
Ditto
Franz Bauer Tue 2020-08-11 01:23PM
I worry that the same account created all of the sessions, and this is not allowed with the type of zoom account they made. There was not a problem with 2 parallel sessions yesterday though?
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 01:24PM
I still cannot get back in. Help?!
Franz Bauer Tue 2020-08-11 01:25PM
they are looking into it. can monitor at #help
Franz Bauer Tue 2020-08-11 01:30PM
it appears we will be delayed...still awaiting guidance from above...
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 01:31PM
OK, thanks. Will keep trying.
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 01:32PM
Is anyone in here at SLAC? They are looking for SLAC people to host so we don't get constantly kicker out.
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 01:32PM
Follow up - that plans isn't working either.
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 01:33PM
If needed, I likely could just host from my Penn State Zoom room - let me know, Franz and Sophie, if desired.
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 01:33PM
I can use my Princeton room but I think they want to get a universal solution.
Franz Bauer Tue 2020-08-11 01:34PM
ideally they want the original links working, since they are advertised in multiple places. Otherwise, indeed any of us can post our own zoom links
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 01:35PM
In case anyone didn't see the main room - start time pushed back to 45 past whichever hour you are currently in.

I'm in limbo, it says "Please wait for the host to start this meeting"
Natasha Abrams Tue 2020-08-11 01:37PM
Same for all the presenters! They're trying to fix the zoom room
Franz Bauer Tue 2020-08-11 01:38PM
half the rooms seem to work (just not ours)...you of course are welcome to attend one of those while we wait. ;)

We are being told now to move to personal Zoom rooms of organizers. See #help .
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 01:42PM
Franz, should we use yours?

@here new transition time 11:15am due to technical difficulties
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 02:01PM
Any questions for our speakers?
Robert Nikutta Tue 2020-08-11 02:03PM
Also for Somayeh: the numbers in the confusion matrix (last slide) were not very confident (false positives, etc). What can be done to improve accuracy of classification? Will this improve as the survey goes on?
Robert Nikutta Tue 2020-08-11 02:08PM
@Dragana Ilic Is the Gaussian process code you mentioned open-source / available?
Dragana Ilic Tue 2020-08-11 02:56PM
Thanks for the question! We plan to make it freely available, right now we are in the process of testing.
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 02:10PM
@William Nielsen Brandt your answer did mostly answer my question, thank you. As you can guess I'm mostly wondering about how detectable quasars above z > 6 will be.
Tue 2020-08-11 02:10PM
@Roberto Assef has joined the channel
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 02:11PM
Well, I've detected z ~ 5-6 quasars with 5-15 ks Chandra shapshots, so this should be do-able with 50 ks XMM-Newton as well.
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 02:11PM
But these are fairly luminous quasars, like the original Fan et al. ones from the early days of z ~ 5-6.
Sophie Reed Tue 2020-08-11 02:12PM
It'll be interesting to find out what we can see. The reduced area means either luck or fainter objects so the deep data will be appreciated.
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 02:13PM
Agreed. We'll make X-ray source catalogs public as soon as we can get all the data taken, and then you can use as you like.
William Nielsen Brandt Tue 2020-08-11 02:14PM
You can get a good sense of L-z coverage by looking at Chen et al. (2018).
Franz Bauer Tue 2020-08-11 02:14PM
just to remind people....we improvised a zoom room =>_ https://zoom.us/j/4052722288
Franz Bauer Tue 2020-08-11 02:15PM
we will begin the 2nd round in 1 minute!
