Week 4
Marcos V -
Hello and welcome to week 4 of my senior project!
This was a big week, as I’ve finally begun rolling out the code for my first major analysis. A lot of my time has been and will continue to be spent on getting more familiar with Python and SQL, but I have begun to get some actual coding done. Specifically, my first numerical analysis will be performing the Zeeman splitting analysis, where I intend to use spectral line data to measure the existence and strength of magnetic fields in the observed plasma ejections. If everything goes well, I hope to have some major results in by the end of next week. For now, however, I am setting up the Python environment and experimenting with query parameters to filter the best data possible for my analysis.
I’ve also begun drafting my research paper that I will present at the end of the project. I will of course be formatting it using LaTeX, and I have already set down a crude outline in Overleaf. I have begun working on an abstract and introduction, but any writing is hard to do when I don’t have any results to point to yet. Still, I am trying to get as much done as I can early on so that I am not scrambling to throw together a massive paper at the end of the project timeline with little time left.
Thank you for taking the time to read my posts, and I look forward to sharing more updates with you!
