Kirk Long's Projects
Jupyter notebooks for ASTR 1040 Fa23
Code and related files for Long+2023
Implementation of some simple adaptive MCMC algorithms
Example comps presentations/papers/projects
Resources for ASTR 1040 recitation imaging
Course files/labs for ASTR 3730.
Workshop for ASTR 6000 seminar on basic Git practices
An analogue to SciPy's stats module "binned_statistic" that's faster and written in native Julia
hosts markdown docs I made for cgem code, full code is privately hosted at: https://gitlab.com/researchkirk/cgem_deliverable1
Research project with Jason Dexter
DiskWind modelling code as described in Long+2023, with some updates. Poorly documented (for now) but will be fixed soon!
Providing all of my graduate school application materials + some unsolicited advice to anyone currently going through the hell that is grad apps.
Workshop materials for Multiculturalism at the Observatory SBO Imaging Workshop
Course material for ME471/571 Spring 2020
Code + generated data for ML project in CSCI 5622
Pkg - Package manager for the Julia programming language
Currently in the process of revamping all my prison programming lesson plans -- the new and improved versions will be immortalized here!
Samples of code written for research project involving identifying accreting x-ray binaries. Some of these files were created by my advisor but most are mine (or at least heavily edited by me). The fftinfo files are test files from a reduction of CHANDRA data my advisor created that are used in the notebooks. Currently I am working to create a similar pipeline for XMM observations to cross-reference the two.
Basic statistics for Julia
Poorly written code that generates moderately exciting plots of a very specific physics phenomenon that enthralls dozens of us around the globe.
