February 5 - 8, 2019

UNLV Barrick Museum

Program

Given the combination of the limited number of participants due to furloughs and the second epoch of Abell 370 arriving Jan. 30-31, the main focus of the meeting will be on several data products.  However, anybody who would like to give a talk and has not yet submitted an abstract will be added to the schedule.

The main goal of the meeting will be to produce four (or five, depending upon the success of transient searches) key products, introduced below.
