Hunter S. Philson's Bio Page
Hello, my name is Hunter S. Philson. I hail from a small city in Northern
California called Petaluma - otherwise know as Land of Lumas. Here at Berkeley, I am studying
astronomy and physics. Outside of the academic
world, you may find me participating in various outdoor activities. I enjoy
visiting Yosemite, hiking, biking, unicycling, running, throwing frisbees, and
much more! Ciao Meow.

REDUCED DATA: The following are links to all reduced sets of J-band
data. The "EXJ" files have been corrected for exposure time, while the "URJ"
files have not. Each "NAME.sav" file contains a set of images (saved under
'NAME') and their median-average (saved under 'NAME_avg'). For example, the
"urj102.sav" file contains the set of images 'urj102' and its median-average
'urj102_avg'. Note: urj408 was a duplicate so files are named 'urj408_1',
'urj408_1_avg', 'urj408_2', and 'urj408_2_avg'.
Night 1 (Aug. 14/15):
urj102.sav,

FINAL PLOTS / DATA: These are the North and South inner ring
flux plots and the final sets of images used for those plots (those that were unobstructed by moons
near the desired ring flux). Restore the .sav data using the same nomenclature
as above ('NAME' and 'NAME_avg').
PLOTS:
radprof_night1.ps,
radprof_night2.ps,
radprof_night3.ps,
rad_prof_j.ps
DATA:
urtopfin.sav,
urbotfin.sav,
URJCENTER: This is an array (name 'urjcenter') containing the center's of all
the urj/exj sets. They are arranged by observation time - in the order that
the actual files are listed above. See the "allnights" text file for more details.
URANUS CENTERS:
urjcenter.sav
URJNIGHTS: If you should find it useful to have a single
array with all 255 J-band images, you can download urjnights.sav. The
images in 'urjnights' are shifted so that the center of Uranus is at [255.000,
511.000]. Similarly, the images for each night are separated into the arrays
'urjnight1', 'urjnight2', and 'urjnight3'. See the "allnights" text file for
more details.
COMBINED IMAGES:
urjnights.sav
CLOUD 1 DATA (J-BAND): The following data pertains to the
first cloud feature (latitude ~ 30 degrees north).
cloud1.sav -- This file has an array containing x,y coordinates and respective error
estimates of the cloud feature. [image # from urjnights, x, y, xerror,
yerror]
lonlat_1.sav -- This file is the same as above except converted to longitude/latitude.
time.sav -- Contains the time information extracted from headers of the images
timesec.sav -- Contains same as above except time is converted to seconds
elapsed since the first image.
NOTE: THIS DATA WAS ADDED MONTHS AFTER THE REST OF THE DATA ON THIS PAGE (2/2/09).
cloud1.sav
lonlat_1.sav
time.sav
timesec.sav
TEXT FILES: The following are useful text files.
ALLNIGHTS: Information about the
'urjcenter' and 'urjnights' files.
DEPROBinfo: An example of how we deproject
an image of uranus to find latitude/longitude values.
HEADERinfo: Information regarding the
extraction of headers from all 255 individual images.
IMAGEinfo: Contains LOTS of good
information - mostly about furthur refining the images for our final radial ring
profile plots.
RADIALPROFILE_PLOT: Shows how we
obtained our final radial profile plots.
READ-IN-FILE: Shows the original "read-in"
files converting the raw data into neat arrays.
REDUCTIONinfo: Imke's procedure for
reducing the raw data.
