Senior Thesis has Finally Been Finished

ToDo for Paper

Preparing for submission into the astrophysical journal. Other than basic formatting and spellchecks, it seems like our paper needs three appendices. I'll make these this week, most of the information is in my senior thesis so I just need to rewrite/reformat it.

  1. Gamma/Theta/Beta Derivation
    1. Derive timescales (t_C,t_G,t_T)
      • This is important for when we derive the dimensionless timescales
    2. Use these to derive gamma/theta/beta, and N_A
      • This is important for when we plot N_A in the contour plots
    3. Talk about the difference between gamma and gammaEff (gamma scales with initial climate sensitivity (dTdP|T=T_0) while gammaEff scales with climate sensitivity when temperature has increased by the temperature tolerance (dTdP|T=T0+dT)
      • This is important for plotting gammaEff on the contourplot and on the scatter plot vs the decline time. It helps reduce the scatter greatly for the latter.
  2. Derive dimensionless timescale for high gamma (tau_coll=1/max(sqrt(2),theta)
    1. tauColl=1/sqrt(2) for low theta
    2. tauColl=1/theta for high theta
  3. Explain scatter in gamma vs time to decline plot
    1. Show plot of gamma vs decline time compared against analytical predictions for both gamma and gammaEff, to show how the effective gamma reduces the scatter
    2. Show plot of gammaEff vs decline time colored by both T0/a/P0, to show how the points that diverge from our analytical predictions are those with low initial temperature (T0) and large orbital distance (a), yet P0 is still approximately constant for constant gamma
