In order to write compelling funding proposals, we need to be able to describe the science use cases for SIMPLE. Please brain dump into this issue. @cfontanive @NiallWhiteford @aburgasser @Will-Cooper

Selecting N objects of X spectral type which have youth indicators. Find the average equivalent width of sodium by spectral type (probably beyond scope). The range of orbital separations in known binaries and binary fraction. Understand the kinematic profile of a d pc volume limited sample.

Spectral variability over different epochs (only applicable for a relatively small sample):

  1. L/T transition objects spectral variability such as SIMP 0136: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad2c76/pdf
  2. Possible recent giant collision of beta Pic: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.04661
