Naive expectation
1- Calculate hotter DQ models
2- Make fits
3- Write paper
4- Move on to the next project

Conclusions
-Discovery of a new type of star : white dwarfs with pure carbon atmospheres
-cool down version of H1504+65?
-High mass stars on MS around 8-10 Msun?
-O/Ne/Mg core ?
-Higher S/N observations (MMT) coming soon
-more theoretical calculations/other evolutionary scenario?
