Science Meeting Update 03/18/2014 - Eddie

I've been working on analyzing the emission maps from my 2.5D pulsed jets, but I'm not having much luck. The emission does not seem to be as well-behaved as we had hoped. Below is an image of the Halpha for one of the internal working surfaces:

The Halpha seems to peak outside the jet radius instead of at the jet center. This doesn't directly contradict what we were saying in the paper, but it makes the analysis that we want to do impossible. I'm referring to the full width half max idea.

So I started thinking that maybe there could be an error in the emission map projection that Jonathan and I implemented. Unfortunately, the chombos do not contain any emission data, so I do not have the raw data from before it gets projected. The best I could do for now is to look at densities and temperature.

Neutral H:

Temperature:

Based on the H density, you might think that Halpha emission peaks at the center, but the temperature says the Halpha emission should peak outside the jet radius. So it's very hard to tell what the emission is supposed to look like.

UPDATE

I think I figured out how to get the raw data for the emission. Here is what I got for Halpha:
