June 12-15

Progress continues. This week I've been working on acquiring more data cubes and keeping all of my files organized. Everything seems to be going as expected; I had a few questions for Dr. Qiu about the number of counts in my images, but that's under control. I also wrote a simple program to export my image cubes as .GIFs instead of .MP4s, which makes them easier to embed here...

As you can tell, there are some issues with this file; not only is it not in color, but it only loops... once (a significant flaw). I was planning on fixing these problems, as well as experimenting with some of the UV images that Jiong provided. But I'm having issues with running SSWIDL, for some reason. Hopefully I'll be able to fix it before tomorrow so I can show some more progress on both the X-ray and UV images!

Update: IDL issues were solved fairly quickly last night, so I was able to make the adjustments I needed to my gif program!

Much better.

I also started looking at the programs I've been provided for analyzing the AIA data. I have the files I need and the program looks like it should work, but I'm getting some mysterious errors. Might not be able to fix them before our group meeting today, but hopefully I'll be able to make some progress this weekend.
