I want to linger A little longer, little longer here with you Aw jeez, where to start. I guess I’ll go with the prompts: I think overall the event went well. My presentation to start went nicely, that one really had me nervous. Not that I felt more weight about that work or anything, itContinue reading “Final Blog Post 5/5”

I’m so sorry Something struck me in the rear I just ended up here — Sokka This week has been decently productive, it is indeed coming together in a inexplicably short amount of time. On the analysis side i’ve been mostly trying to chug out my analysis plots, namely the R and I band rotationContinue reading “blog_log#11”

Shapeshifter shaking with strange hands, some say I am Fresher than Maine clams A lot of progress was made this week in terms of data reduction (as far as I know). I made stacks per viewing cycle, and ran some wholesale photometry on my lightcurves from 1 night stacks. My goal right now is toContinue reading “blog_log#10”

I’m glad I look at the stars for school or else I’d spend less time outside This week has been fairly productive. I did a dry run of some photometry in python and got some results that match up with my findings from AIJ last week. My results are shown in the gallery below. sThusContinue reading “blog_log#9”

I was excited To wear my birkenstocks with Socks when it got warm The week so far has not been too productive. After OOC meeting last week I went to revise my alignment code as I thought I was stacking, but in fact I was not. However my edits, as simple as they appeared, provedContinue reading “blog_log #8”

Things are a bit strange, but that’s alright. I’m excited to start focusing on some work. It’llContinue reading “blog_log#7 (zero indexing is confusing)”

Justin Timberlake Where are the new tunes, I need Some new JT please So far this week I’ve reduced the rest of the data and attempted to make a light curve with my Praesepe I-Band stacks. I got astro-IMGJ to work on the UMass computers following the steps from class, but I am not pickingContinue reading “blog_log #5 3/8”

“Listen good, I don’t have nobody” – unfinished Kid Cudi lyric So far my work this week has consisted of organizing my pipeline. I have just aligned and combined the images for night 4. They are in a folder below. All in all they look good. There is one outlier that looks a little strange.Continue reading “blog_log#4 – 2/1”

Ran out of ideas It is only the third blog This does not bode well After meeting with Kim on Monday and discussing with Cassidy I have got both my Bias subtraction and flatfielding issues resolved. Running through the check data set was successful, yielding counts for science images of the Orion nebula ranging fromContinue reading “blog_log#3 2/19”

Late night dinners are Nesecesary when day Hours go away So far I have been writing a cleaner version of the bias sub/flatfielding code so that it runs with no issues when applied to the test data set. So far things are running but the counts I am getting were initially puzzling but after someContinue reading “Blog_log#2 Feb 16th”
