  • new movies: MachStems
    • best ones to look at are 2-clump comparisons
    • the column density movies are useful for watching the transmitted shocks move through the clumps, and the movies also support the idea that the secondary "messy" emission is due to material shedding off of the clumps
  • working on the paper; mainly the theory section to include discussion of various instabilities in these sims.
    • Adam, I'll send you an up-to-date version of everything I've written so far on Friday?
  • I could continue making emission map and column density movies, but I don't know how much more information we'll get. I have generated 55 movies already, out of a potential total of 92. I'll do some more, but I might not do all 92. I think my focus should shift to reading and writing now. I could also start some new 3-D pulsed jet runs.
  • I'm also starting to pull out some specific details from Pat's 2011 third epoch paper. One thing that stuck out was this image:

In the paper, Pat writes "One can also imagine the structure in the froth as arising from the irregularities in the shape of the wing of the bow shock as it sweeps up material". The bow shocks in our simulations show irregularities due to the strong cooling, and I believe this is the Vishniac instability (a thin layer bounded by shock and contact).
