Two new papers! One by Dinalva Sales et al. (I'm an et al.) on detailed observations of the OH megamaser galaxy IRASF 16399-0937, actually a merger between two galaxies. The other paper is by Billy Vasquez et al. (I'm an et al. again) on infrared/optical reverberation measurements of the active galaxy NGC 6418.

Dinalva and Billy did all the hard work. My main contribution to Dinalva's paper was the introduction of clumpyDREAM, a galaxy SED fitting tool that uses the DREAM(ZS) algorithm (ter Braak and Vrugt 2008). For Billy's paper, I performed the Spitzer Space Telescope infrared measurements.
