 As a measure of magnetic field strength in the pdf, I am going to use the magnetic pressure. 
 
-Magnetic pressure is an energy density, and in free space in cgs, is given by:

 aka - scaled magnetic pressure.
 
-Therefore - if I use BE_field as is for my pdf - I will be plotting scaled magnetic pressure vs. scaled density.

 What is pscale?

+That is, the LHS, which are the values I will be plotting, are in''' units of K/cm^3^''', and therefore instead of calling it something like 'magnetic pressure in computational units', I can call it:
