Scaling_relation

It is time to start our discussion on Scaling Relations. As a first step, it will be useful to have a short presentation of our own works and, since most of us was interested on the subject, we decided to organize it during lunch. Today we will listen to some Planck-related results. We will devote tomorrow lunch to simulators and go back to observers next week. Please add you name if you want to give a short presentation (~5-10 min per paper).

(Perhaps we will need to split these presentations over multiple days, or schedule an afternoon session.)
