This document summarizes plans and progress on science associated with FEPS. Please note that this should be a constantly evolving document if our project is in a healthy state of productivity. As it is hard for us to keep track of who is planning/doing what and in collaboration with whom, please help us keep this page current by sending any and all updates and corrections to: lah(at)astro.caltech.edu. See the FEPS publications policy for guidelines as to how the paper writing process should work.
Red backgound indicates ``hot" papers on which
imminent noteworthy progress and submission is expected. These are the ones
we are trying hard to push out the door ASAP. Please do your part to help.
Yellow background indicates ``warm" papers on which there has been recent
activity, but not necessarily a mature draft for team comment. We need to submit
these in 2006. Other papers are likely products of 2007, and some of those
to which little attention has been devoted to date, may fall off the table.
Leads and deputy leads: please send outlines, collaborators,
and paper drafts as they become available.

|||
| Even More Sub-mm Dust: SEDs (CSO, Scuba, SMT, AST/RO) | Carpenter/Meyer | |
many observations obtained some proposed observations looking for collaborator to work on data |
