Eavesdropping on tex-source comments in papers posted to astro-ph

What if gravity becomes really repulsive in the future?

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

If you have any idea why the first three references are showing up as blank, I'm all ears... Many references are also out of date, but presumably the editors can take care of that (or punt back to us at a later date like journals always do...)

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

I would also argue that this approach has not been simulated vetted, as the "simulations" in Mertens' paper were extremely crude. But I understand if you don't want to say that, as it could be considered controversial.

I have an inordinate amount of floats that causes Latex to break. making a \\FloatBarrier is the only way I can think to solve this issue

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

This paragraph seems to come out of nowhere. Presumably it's about fitting foregrounds but the word foreground never shows up here. You also discuss the Mertens paper in detail later, so maybe this is just a relic paragraph that can be removed?

PARAGRAPHE A NE PAS EFFACER MERCI :)

section commented out for to compile with Overleaf

For example, \\citealt{Khoperskov2013MNRAS.428.2311K} investigated molecular cloud formation on the large-scale Galactic disk, finding {\\it Jesus, what did they find can you say it in a word or two?}

SB: hi Blakes, could you please specify which Goodman2011 , Burkhart2013 , Pingel2017 and Portilo2017 papers did you mean?

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

I don't get the point of recommending a survey. To what end?

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

perhaps explain that these societies need funding to host conferences, plan workshops etc. (just making up things here to start...) ?

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

In this case, without knowing a priori the amplitude of EoR in our data, we may mistakenly claim this residual power as a detection of EoR!

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

just don't like the hand-waving explanation below (while yes, it is true) - KS

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

Cite a review paper? -- haven't found a good one

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

Period search in our 10-20 point lightcurves is a joke. 2013MNRAS.434.3423G for example argues that one needs 200 points for the period search to work https://t.co/0DKSadQb4g

Sun is a BY Dra-type variable star too... it just depends on you

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

It reads like "we just looked at the images and if the variability was" evident by eye - we classified the source as variable". This doesn't sound good enough, but I don't have specific suggestions on how to change it...

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

Should we have a plot in the Appendix illustrating the Eridanus~II problem? Or are we trying to avoid plotting the threshold in MAD-mag plots, because it looks ugly (has noticeable steps)? -- KS. AB: yes, we are avoiding it

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

AZ is supported by himself and dedicates this work to himself!

[astro-ph-leaks @LeaksPh]

\\LHG{Do you think it's worth emphasizing (here and possibly elsewhere) that the simulations weren't just variations in \\sig and \\om, but included 4 other parameters (plus HOD)? That's a lot of marginalization!}

THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH IS A MESS. WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO SAY??
