HEP_project
HEP_project is a program that was written for my Capstone project with another student Nicholas Proietti. The program was made to reconstruct Z boson, W boson, and top quark invariant mass spectra as an end goal, but also will perform other analytical tasks using ROOT framework on CMS open-source data from CERN.
Auto_Linear_Analysis
Auto_Linear_Analysis is a C++ program written to allow for the linear calculation of variable stars in MESA's RSP in batch.
CMD_FileMaker
CMD_FileMaker is a C++ program written to process linear output data from MESA's RSP. It reads in one line long history files and outputs V, I, V-I into a dat file for color-magnitude diagram creation. CMD_plotter is a Python program that can take the output from CMD_FileMaker and create CMD plots.
DRTypeFinder
DRTypeFinder is a program written to identify if a variable star has a D or R-type ionization front from MESA's RSP output.
InstabilityStrip
InstabilityStrip is a C++ program written to analyze linear data from MESA's RSP and study variable star's instability strips. Originally called BlueEdge_Plotter as this was the first function the program was fitted for.
ResonanceChecker
The ResonanceChecker program was written to check for resonances between modal oscillations from linear MESA RSP output up to the ninth overtone. The code is a work in progress as the project is still being worked on. PlotterProgram was written to take "Fig4" output from ResonanceChecker and recreate the plot that can be seen in Figure 4 within "Survey of non-linear hydrodynamic models of type-II Cepheids" by R. Smolec.
