I Want The Darn Skittles
Today I started by comparing graphs for spectroscopy of the emission lines with and without the broad lines to see if it made the graph a better fit. During our break not much interesting happened besides the fact that Meghan established the fact that she was way too tired to work. I then got the assignment of getting data of various measurements such as; narrow line velocity, broad line velocity, both dispersion velocities, flux of each, and the error associated with every measurement, of 17 galaxies. I then put all that info into a spread-sheet (just like Kevin) and finished I believe 11 galaxies. Lunch was fun with watching ESPN which had a montage of coaches getting upset and often resulted in physical, harmful, contact, which was quite amuzing to all seated at the table. Chris and myself went to the vending machines to get some candy with the left over change we had from lunch. We first left the change in the lab, then we found out that the Skittles don't vend, so we tried 4 other various candies on the same shelf...they didn't vend either. So, after much arduous inserting coins into the machine we decided to get a different snack just to see if it worked. We decided on Lay's so we typed in the code...sure enough the chips were dispensed...we both proceeded to say in unison that we didn't want the chips. We returned to the lab highly discontent with our purchase but we ate them anyways. We ended the day and week with a very short meeting with Jake then went our seperate ways, slightly happy that we wouldn't see each other for two days because that meant that we didn't have to get up as early and work!
