EC14012 Paper and DAMP05 Update

Hello everyone,

Good news!  The EC14012 paper is now available on astro-ph.  Here is
the link:  http://arxiv.org/pdf/1204.2558.pdf.
The paper will be coming out in the June edition of ApJ.

DAMP05 has started.  We've been observing GD165 to evaluate the star
for convective light curve fitting.  This is a
hot DA, and would help pin down the hot end of our convection plot
(Figure 17 in the EC14012 paper) where we only have G117-B15A
right now.  The star still has 2 major frequencies, at 120 and 193 s.
Both are mulitplets.  The 120 s multiplet seems very similar to
the previous published frequencies, but the 193 s multiplet is not yet
resolved!  Of course, we need more data!  Check out
the website to see the latest light curves and FTs.

Cheers,
Judi
