Week 7

Day 1. I began my work on error bars for the normalization of the luminosities of my clusters. I am able to subplot all of the clusters. After I get my plot to work, I look at Lei Bai's papers to get an idea on how to normalize her luminosity functions.

Day 2. I begin to work on the email of tasks that I have been given. I am trying to plot RA vs DEC. This requires me to write code that calls in 2 different tables. I have to set a flag in order to identify those that belong to the cluster and those that are not a part of the cluster. I then subplotted them. When that was finished, I began to work on using sigma^3 to normalize my functions.

Day 3. I continue to try and figure out my sigma squared using the dictionaries that I was given yesterday. I then continue working on the sigma^3 but keep finding different errors. Rose helps me fix my sigma^3 work and I am able to work on making the plots nice.

Day 4. I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my axis. I can't figure it out so I go and work on some code academy. Rose gives me some suggestions on how I can fix my axis. I spend the rest of the time working on that. I also was able to successfully plot all of the clusters on one graph.

Day 5. I comment my program so that when people look back to try and use it, they can understand what is going on. I work on my program that puts the clusters in one figure. I try and change the color for each cluster. There is now a line connecting all the error bars but I cannot figure out how to get rid of them.
