Week 5
Lots to Do
This week was entirely spent trying to figure out how to write a program that would properly calculate the Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) for binary systems across our wide parameter space. This included filtering out systems that merged within the given time period an systems that didn't evolve enough to detect. I ended up succesful, and learned quite a bit more Python along the way than I thought I would need to!
Week 6
Midterms
With Monday and Tuesday off this week for the holiday there wasn't much more research that got done. My time was occupied touching up graphs and plots in preparation for the midterm presentations that went incredibly well.
