Finally found some time to work on the tables and the text of the paper that I need to send back to the journal after responding to the referee's comments. I did not finish, but updated the numbers in the table and added some more text on the abundances. Need another day to finalize the text and new figures. I made the new figures a couple weeks ago, but did not generate the final plots for the paper.
Marianne asked for a copy of my old review of accretion disks models. I sent her a pdf file, but need to post it on astro-ph finally. Some people are still using it which is great.
Quasar Tea was interesting today. Andy presented his results on silicon absorption in Compton thick Sy2 nearby galaxies. In his carefully selected sample of 20 sources the silicon absorption seems to be related to the dust in the host galaxy, not the torus. High optical depths of the silicon line are seen mainly in the disturbed/merger type galaxies which do show a lot of optical dust features in the images.
Bozena arrived this afternoon. We'll work on quasars variability next week.
