HI!  Welcome to my Web Page!  I am a student at the University of Arizona, and I spent the summer of 2005 in beautiful Bozeman Montana studying solar flares.

My REU project involved looking at the dynamics of a flare.  I analyzed data from three instruments:  RHESSI, TRACE, and MDI.  I then used IDL SolarSoftware to combine these sets of data and try to grasp how one particular flare, RHESSI flare 3102929, developed over the course of about 30 minutes.

For more information about my project, please visit the web pages below:

Temporal Development--This page includes a lightcurve and a description of the time evolution of RHESSI flare 3102929.
RHESSI Images--This page includes a number of RHESSI images, as well as speculation as to what may be going on in each.
MDI Images--This page is comprised of magnetograms, which show the magnetic activity outlining RHESSI flare 3102929.
TRACE Images--This page contains X-ray data obtained by the TRACE satellite.  
Overlays--This page is made of several overlays of the images from the above pages, and is particularly useful in showing how flare 3102929 evolves.
REU 2005 Presentation--This is the link to my REU Presentation, however due to techincal difficulties it is not formatting properly.
