Abstract The main aim of this project is developing
computational methods to avoid redundancy with the previously downloaded
spectra and establish our database, work with previously developed python
codes to improve the efficiency and accessibility for a future group member,
upload the results of the search for extremely-high velocity outflows to
share easily with the scientific community. The files that working with the current Python
program is Data Release 9, but the goal of the project is, regardless of the
Data Release number, rewrite the current code with a better algorithm. The
data has gotten from the Sloan Digital Survey database and convert the
appropriate information for analysis. This data was used on the Python
program with libraries and created accurate 2D graphs. My role on the team was working with previous,
current, and future CSSE and/or Physics students, gathering the right
information, calculating emission and absorption, normalize the files, and
calculating the absorption with normalization file. To make this progress, I
and my team members followed a weekly agile development schedule. I was
writing a weekly status report and TODO list, communicating with team
members, Ph.D. Professor, and the Physics students. We worked individually
and pair programming to reach our goal weekly/quarterly. The project is a continuous process that needs to be
updated constantly. Every week completing the goals and getting new
information was exciting. The project was a partnership between CSS and
Physics departments, so absorbing the right information in Physics a bit hard
for me as a CSS student. |
