Update 1/25/16

  • Applied for Kavli summer program - should hear back in a month or so.
  • Watched Madhusudhan talk at PPVI, describing "current" (as of 2013) state of exoplanet research. Consisted primarily of discussion of hot Jupiters, with short sections on the end discussing hot Neptunes and super-Earths. Hot Jupiter temperature inversions based on atmospheric composition and C/O ratio, and atmospheric circulation. Hot Neptunes require either non-equ. chemistry or high metallicity to fit current data.
  • Also began reading Matsakos paper.

Plan to run a couple of short test runs similar to previous post, finish Matsakos paper, and read some papers from PPVI.
