-Modelling XRB nucleosynthesis in XNET following the model of the Dissertation of Lau 2012+====== Neutronic ======
  
-Tsunghan Yeh (Inputs)+===== Abstract =====
  
-  *[] Read Paper +Modelling XRB nucleosynthesis in XNET following the model of the <​del>​Dissertation of Lau 2012</​del>​ Fisker 2007, using the premade model for CNO XRB. 
-  *[] Create possible network list +
-   +
-Amber Lauer (Code Person) +
-   +
-  *[] Read Paper +
-  *[] Study Xnet+
  
-Fei Yuan (Analysis)+===== Goals =====
  
-  *[] Read Paper +  * Create video of working burst nuclides chart. 
-  *[] design ​end objective+  * Vary initial metallicity still using Fisker thermal trajectory, see if burst still occurs. 
 +  * Vary initial H/He ratio within metallicity still using Fisker thermal trajectory, see if burst still occurs. 
 +  * Create videos of stalled burst nuclides charts. 
 + 
 +===== Links ===== 
 + 
 +  * [[https://​github.com/​xrf/​talent-astro-proj2|Code]
 +  * [[https://​wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/​talent/​lib/​exe/​fetch.php?​media=neutronic.pdf|Presentation]] 
 + 
 +===== Results ===== 
 + 
 +  * [[http://​youtu.be/​pHKFIH-Llqo|Video 1 (small nuclear network)]] 
 +  * [[http://​youtu.be/​uV3hGIiyVgc|Video 2 (large nuclear network)]] 
 + 
 +===== Conclusion ===== 
 + 
 +Since the initial X-ray burst is dependent on so few nuclei, almost no configuration can stop the burst behavior in a toy model. 
 + 
 +===== Log ===== 
 + 
 +==== Tsunghan Yeh: Inputs ==== 
 + 
 +  * Read paper 
 +  * Create network list/sunet: use premade scenario following Fisker_2007 (see references in presentation) 
 +  * Temperature profile: use Fisker premade scenario 
 +  * Determine initial molar abundances to alter ab_XRB file 
 +  * PPT 3, 4, 7 
 + 
 +==== Amber Lauer: Code ==== 
 + 
 +  * Read paper 
 +  * Study Xnet: made a clearer set of instructions for running non-default library: ​[[https://​docmgmt.nscl.msu.edu/​share/​proxy/​alfresco/​api/​node/​content/​workspace/​SpacesStore/​7f083725-bf8b-4544-8bd6-0758dfe92545/​reaction%20network%20instructions|rxn net instructions]], ran XRB-CNO example, MS Excel eats a space column about half way down the file, was causing burst plotting errors. 
 +  * Use scripts to make plots-: 
 +    * Abundance plots working 
 +      * Easier in Excel 
 +    * Animation script working 
 +  * PPT 2, 5, 6, references 
 + 
 +==== Fei Yuan: Analysis ==== 
 + 
 +  * Read paper 
 +  * Design ​end objective 
 +    * <​del>​Integrate the energy generated at the surface and compare to surface photon emission</​del>​ (goal changed) 
 +    * vary metallicities to identify burst conditions (see abstract) 
 +  * Refine python scripts to [[https://​github.com/​xrf/​talent-astro-proj2/​blob/​master/​tso_reader.py|read output]], visualize 
 +  * Make video with [[https://​github.com/​xrf/​talent-astro-proj2/​blob/​master/​plot-chart|script]] 
 +  * PPT 8, 9, 10
