STEREO and latex

Quick meeting with Ian F about previous meeting with Ian F and future (tomorrow) meeting with Ian F.

Seminar on STEREO, with 3D glasses and everything. Oh to be a scientist...

More latex, including sticking in a very large equation from Risbeth involving lots of dynamical terms. Eep. Much of the introduction now covered with three out of seven sections slapped in. Have listed three or four figures that need creating/finding and including. This will be done once the text and equations are done.

Discussion with Makenzie about the state of her data. More profiles by the end of the week, though that deadline was slipping further away even as the conversation progressed...

Back to it

Meetings to do with seminar feedback today. Very positive.

Finished off Raman marking, then got some papers off Howarth, including one of the last lot, which has been dealt with, also saw anasuya about her marking, which needs swiftly shifting.

Problem class.

One run finished. Saturn500 finished the 40eV SD-1 run, was analysed recoded as 12eV SD-2 and reset off. This was the penultimate 40eV run remaining and means only two non 12eV runs remain to be completed. Also, only one of the SD 12eV slots is yet to be set off.

Run, marking, seminar

That's the plan.

The run that finished overnight was Saturn100, a 50eV SD-C run. It was analysed, recoded and set off as SD-C for 12eV. The analysis showed that it was the final 50eV run, meaning all energies except 12, 40 and 100,000 are done, with the remaining 100k and 40eV runs underway. Half of all the remaining to be completed and analysed 18 runs are SD runs.

Ok seminar. Three bits. Modelling, Photon, Auroral morphology - not in that order.

Begin with the Earth, starting at Bolearis, then shift outwards, until the Earth is just another planet. Show that visible light is just one of the emissions and the list of emissions on all eight planets (including the null of Mercury). Talk about ENAs at Mercury and why it hasn't an aurora. Talk about the dynamo at Venus, the swept aurora and how this is being applied to Mars. Move onto the Giant Planets, with Jupiter's internal dynamo, Saturn's state of affairs, and mention the other two. Then talk about how particle interactions change the current only analogy sometimes used. Have the photon as an anology. Then use it to introduce RIDE and shine up a result or two. Then finish and run off to Mill Hill to avoid questions...

Ok, most the way through it now. Finished off tomorrow.

Marking, marking, marking.

Marking

Ok, one run finished too. Saturn500 finished the 40eV SD-C run, was analysed, recoded and set off as SD-1. Analysis brought no grade changes, but SD finally hit the 80% complete mark. overall, just over 89% complete... 23 runs left to finish, eleven of which are currently going.

Marking

Have created a title for my seminar (under great duress) and grabbed a couple of images. Also tried to book the day off from Mill Hill...

Marking for Howarth done.
