+Temperature Stability and effects on responsivity variations (Peter)
+  * This was from 2007, not much progress was made due to lack of opportunities
+    * things like better control system could help
+    * +/-1 ohm sensitivity, which is +/-7 uK; so the data was at noise level, which prevented them doing better at the time
+  * blue curves is the current in the magnet, exerted to stability, period about 20 mins
+  * shorter time scale on temperature (red), when currents change direction
+  * improvement
+    * better control in ADR
+  * key question: given responsivity model, what would 20 uK change do?
+  * **Peter to send raw data of the plot (AI)**
+  * **Roger volunteers to take charge of this, calculate equivelent signal from this fluctuation (AI)**
+  * Shaul: can affect responsivity, not just noise. If we were fluctuating a few mK, large signal far beyond we call noise.
+  * Jacques: how 3K will be modulated; on ground, noise from all sorts of things are dominant, but in space, this source could be dominant in fluctuation
+  * T_focalplane and T_ADR
+    * time constant C/G: focalplane ~30 kg, C is not hard to estimate, but G may be. **Ask Chris Payne to estimate (AI)**.
+    * Peter: two different time constants, internal of arrays and between ADR and system. Internal time constant of array is also important.
+  * Planck active T control
+    * Jacque: Very long time constant, the fluctuation from dilution does not transfer to focal plane; most fluctuations were from cosmic rays
+    * Shaul: why was active control still useful if time constant was large? **Check with Brandon (AI)**
+  * The plot is from 4-stage, 4k to low T; 5-stage should outperform with 1K
+    * Shaul: 1K stage would have its own fluctuation
+    * Peter: ASTRO-H lab tests with full space instruments, 3 ADR: 2 upper stage + 1.5 K constant. Fluctuation was within 1mK. Two modes, ADR with liquid helium and without helium. Turned out without was more stable, gave better detector resolution, because of more stability under ADR; with helium, there were drifts.
+      * did not do in-space test due to computation limit on board
+Noise/band Figure
+  * Jacques: this one is mostly wrong, no need to discuss. A lot things have been fixed.
+  * Jacques sends a new figure for Shaul to present. Units are consistent between bands and signals.
+  * Synchrotron not completely clear
+  * BB dominated by lensing
+  * Shaul: six dark blue bands are wrong, should be three
+  * CO lines
+  * Current units are for broader community, who do not understand uK.
+Shaul will be gone for next 3 weeks until June 18th. After Shaul comes back, report writing mode.
