Research Journal: Adam Oppenheimer

Wednesday, July 1st

• Took Gwen's light curve data on the source 1ES 1215+303 and imported it into a separate jupyter notebook
  • debugged the code/data to ensure that it would run/graph correctly
• Modified Ari's code to create Bayesian Blocks in order to use it in conjunction with Gwen's data
• The end product was a Bayesian Block model of Gwen's light curve

Tuesday, June 30th

• Had a group meeting with Ari, Gwen, Reshmi, and Qi
  • Presented the presentation on Bayesian Blocks
  • Discussed the future path for research
    • Do Bayesian Block analysis of Gwen's source/numbers
    • eventually might do Bayesian Block analysis of other sources or do fermi analysis on some sources
• Figured out how to open up Jupyter Notebook Files through the tehanu cluster
• Copied Gwen's source files + code into my analysis folder
• Began to play around with Bayesian Blocks in jupyter notebook

Monday, June 29th

• Took a tutorial in TWiki to understand how to use and create topics/pages
• Set up the research journal on TWiki
• Created a powerpoint summarizing the idea of Bayesian Blocks: Findings come from Scargle et al.1998
  • Named Week 0 Update.pptx
• Downloaded Linux kernel (MobaXterm)
• Looked over ways to manipulate/move directories in Unix
• Read Intro to FermiPy presentation by Ari
