Hello world. I am Brian.


The following corresponds to the h-band data. The j-band data can be found on Hunter's webpage.
Hunter's webpage

The following link gives some general info concering the h-band data that may be useful.

The following is a file containing a copy of how we initially read in each raw image.
Raw Image Read In



===================================================================

RING DATA:
- Arrays used for j-band South radial profiles. Arrays: urbotfin, urbotfin_avg
- Arrays used for j-band North radial profiles. Arrays: urtopfin, urtopfin_avg

- Arrays used for h-band North/South rings.
Arrays: avgarray (averaged images from various sets of images), rotarr (rotated images to be subtracted from the avgarray images), avgdiff (rotarr subtracted from avgarray images)

- Arrays used for h-band North/South radial profiles.
Arrays: avgmedtop (final averaged image from avgdiff for inner North ring profile), avgmedbot (final averaged image from avgdiff for inner South ring profile), outertop (array of images to be averaged for North outer rings), outerbot (array of images to be averaged for South outer rings), outerring (final averaged image for outer ring profile)

- Arrays used for k-band North/South inner/outer radial profiles.
Arrays: rotarr (rotated images to be subtracted from the avgarray images, topkarr (images used for North inner rings), botkarr (images used for South inner rings), topkarravg and botkarravg (averaged images for North/South inner rings), avgdifftopk and avgdiffbotk (rotarr subtracted from topkarravg and botkarravg), outertopk and outerbotk (images used for North/South outer rings), outerarrmed (averaged image for North/South outer rings)

Radial Profiles:
- Night 1 North Profile (h-band)
- Night 2 North/South Profile (h-band)
- Night 3 North/South Profile (h-band)
- VLT North/South Profile (h-band)
- Outer Ring North/South Profile (k-band)
- Outer Ring (North and South combined) (k-band)
- Night 1 North/South Profile (j-band)
- Night 2 North/South Profile (j-band)
- Night 3 North/South Profile (j-band)
- VLT North/South Profile (3 nights combined) (j-band)

The following links are .sav files containing the reduced images that are corrected for exposure time. Each contains the array of images under the filename and the median average of those images under the name filename_avg, e.g. exh118 and exh118_avg. Note that the averages for exh388_1 and exh388_2 have the names exh388_1avg and exh388_2avg.

The following links are .sav files containing the reduced images that are not corrected for exposure time. Each contains the array of images under the filename, e.g. urh118, and the median average of those images under the filename_avg, e.g. urh118_avg. Note that for urh388_1, the image array is named urh388 with the average urh388_avg, and for urh388_2, the image array is urh388_2 and the average image is urh388_2avg.

urcenters.sav is an array of the centers for each set of images in the order that the links appear, e.g. urcenters(*,0) is the center of Uranus in each image of the array urh118/exh118 and in urh118_avg and urcenters(*,18) corresponds to urh488/exh488.

If you should find it useful to have a single array with all 263 h-band images, you can download nights.sav, which contains all images in the array nights (note that this takes a while to load). The images in nights are shifted so that the center of Uranus is at urcenters(*,0). Similarly, the images for each night are located in the arrays night1, night2, and night3.

The following are some of the prcedures we used throughout the process. I will soon try to update the program info. in each file to describe what each program does.
avgshift.pro
deprob.pro - Mate's deprojection program
urcenter.pro - to find center of Uranus
radialdist_2.pro - to generate arrays that give the distance in pixels, km, or arcseconds form a given point

The following are some final plots that we generated. Coming Soon.
