@GregHerczeg Are you saying all the revenue from ApJ authors is only used to pay ApJ publication-related costs (as opposed to covering other costs more broadly in AAS)?
@DScol@CburgesCliff Sorry Dan I don't understand the second row of the table - is the -2.3 vs +1.4 the direct comparison from using the same 7 SN Hosts used by CCHP?
Random cosmology question: Does anyone have or know of code to estimate an angular correlation function, C(\theta) on a pixelized (HEALPix) sky map? I think PolSpice does this but I don't know that it has the option to e.g. adjust the \theta-binning.

@Niall_Jeffrey@theDESurvey Hi, very nice! How should I think about where exactly the extra info over just the Cl is coming from? I guess non-Gaussian information on small / small-ish scales?
@CosmoCora @Astro_Jonny Sure, I understood what you meant, I was just curious if generic universe vs our Universe is the same word in German (since it would be capitalized in either case).
@davidwhogg I'm not familiar enough with the Gaia/WISE data, calibration etc. to know what issues there might be (hey, this is why *I* was asking *you*!)
Generically one could test for clustering signal varying with sky mask / splitting up the sky. Assuming any contamination is anisotropic.
@davidwhogg Well, I know there were problems recovering large-scale power in BOSS, for example (see https://t.co/47dujzTbcr). So when you said Quaia is "great for ultra-large scales", I was wondering how much you'd done to check for or remove contaminants / spurious clustering.
@davidwhogg Looks very useful! How do you validate the clustering on large scales? Like how do you know the large-scale modes are being recovered accurately?
