Hello good people! Are you ready to read lots of science? Because today I'll be describing my research in more detail. So, let’s get right to it. These past two weeks I’ve been working with a grad student, Nengyi, on the more advanced section of my project. In this part, I’m looking at the data that’s been gathered and trying to find interesting trends. Specifically, I’m finding an approximation of the total redshift at specific points based on spectrograph data, which tells us how the plasma at that point is moving. By studying this redshift we can see how the flare loops move, and whether there’s anything interesting to analyze there. This involves the data from the IRIS satellite, which has a built in spectrograph. A spectrograph separates light by its frequency. Because different elements put out different wavelengths of light when energized, we can isolate specific elements and analyze their bands. Here’s an example of the different bands for some random elements ...
