Lost on the Main Street to Mountain Trail
June 11 to June 13
I worked on downloading the FITS files using the RHESSI GUI in sswidl. There were some more errors with downloading, similar to last week, but I’m still working on that. Of the 17 events that I am working on, I believe I have fully downloaded and processed 9 of them. There are errors for the FITS files before and after each of those events but I downloaded multiple images in a row for each one. For the other 8 events, I’m going to try and work out the errors and see if different time intervals could work!

After taking to Dr. Qiu yesterday we figured out some of the IDL errors! It turns out some of the images were not centered on the flare, and I needed to change the locations of the images by either shifting the frame or zooming out to get the full flare. I’m also tinkering with the time intervals used, always keeping the difference of 4 seconds so the 4 second integral will work. I also quickly prepared for my presentation to the solar group meeting today.

I managed to process data for two of the flares that were out of the frame. It was frustrating because after I processed one image SSWIDL would tell me it had a segmentation fault and log me out of SSWIDL and the RHESSI GUI. I kept having to log back in and center in on the flare again. This was a tough day for me to get work done since I had an eye appointment in the morning and the antibiotics made me extremely drowsy in the afternoon.
Weekend
Since it was all rainy this weekend, I ended up staying mostly indoors. Friday night, a bunch of the solar REU students all went to Watanabe's, a Japanese resturaunt. I got the tantan ramen and it was pretty good! Then, Jordan, Courtney, Nicole, and I went rock climbing on Saturday morning! It was a blast (even though I’m terrified of heights). We then got brunch at Sola Café, a place Marika recommended. They made omelets to order and it was great. It was also sunny for a part of the afternoon on Saturday, so Nicole and I went on a jog along the Main Street to Mountain trail. It was extremely pretty. Finally, on Sunday, a bunch of us went to see the Incredibles 2! The time we wanted to see it at was sold out so a few of us saw it in 3D instead of 2D.
Also, we went to Shakespeare in the Parks and saw Othello on Wednesday. It was fantastic, and it was great seeing all the actors and actresses that Nicole and I met before all doing their thing! We're planning on going to Love's, Labor's, Lost on next Wednesday.
