Thanks for that Robert,
There are infact a couple of papers in the works for the Astrophysical Journal with BOSS team members included in the authors list, but they do take time for acceptance, peer review I guess. The one listed below "Multi-Wavelength Observations of Supernova 2011ei: Time-Dependent
Classification of Type IIb and Ib Supernovae and Implications for their Progenitors", has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.
Of course we are blown away by this, how incredible that professional astronomers would include amateurs in their list of contributors.
To all IISpacers reading this take note that any contributions you make to the science are highly regarded by the professionals and who knows where this can lead to.
The BOSS team are very proud to be able to let Ice In Space be the first to know of our discoveries and achievements in the hope that it inspires you knowing what amateurs can contribute to. Not only in Supernova discovery but a whole range of work from the incredible spectroscopy being done by several highly talented IIspacers here to Variable Star work, Occultations, Comet discovery, monitoring of Solar activity, monitoring Jupiter and Saturn, radio astronomy to our world beating imagers.
As I have often said BOSS are just like everyone else here we get our buzz from astronomy and we have found our niche.
