Bozena is visiting this week and we started analysis of X-ray variability in quasars. Basically downloaded the data and started analysis of the lightcurves. Malgosia is creating the lightcurves and cleaning it.
I just wrote a few lines of python to calculate rms histograms. We need to have the analysis done for our initial discussion today.

Andreas and Vinay initiated a discussion on image analysis yesterday. The old issues of detection of faint extended features, with not clearly defined borders comes back again. This will be some long- term work
and we decided to start involving students. In meantime I should just go back to the data and application of LIRA to my quasar data, but not until after the proposal deadlines on March 15.

Proposals... Started already thinking about project, but the real work starts next week.
