A cold and rather rainy week. I am happy that I worked from home Tuesday to avoid some of that rain.
asterism-wise, I have been working on the temporal evolution issue.
I have investigated whether it would help by modifying the scaled_weights (run kennel_willing_french and cyclist_fable_going) – it didn’t solve the underlying issues.
I have tried adding central helium mass fraction as a measure of evolution (run display_chasing_manlike and even worse backstab_confused_skyward), it did not help and a direct age measure (age, fracage or similar) seems to be very much needed as an input irregardless.
I am trying a new scaling in age scaledage and I have been exploring the isolines (isochrones, isofracage, isoscaledages) to see if the dependency on mass erases important information in fracage dimension compared to the other. It seems to be the case, so I am trying a new run with scaledage.
I really would loved to have solved this this week, maybe I can still make it…
I spent more time than expected this week on what I would consider admin.
raised their hand with respect to forming a post doc rep commitee Monday. I haven’t received a reply yet.Thursday I had a coffee meeting with Yeshpal. He wanted to meet me (post doc rep for Physics and Astronomy in Early Career Network thingy). We chatted, he wants me to (1) promote the impact programme to more people at Physics (more smaller grants), (2) get especially female speakers to his Quantum Technology seminar series. It is interdisciplinary (timing in space? Qubits for astronomy?). It was nice to meet him.
Via Slack I helped Dinil with GitLab CI/CL set-up for his MSAP3 modules.
Kinda by accident I discovered that University of Bham gives to you access to LinkedIn Learning for free. I will see if the statistics modules are fun.
After the group meeting I will run the orbit for Jens. I should probably have done this Tuesday. It will not take long.
