Back to work
Now that finals are over, I can get back to my research for a while. The last issue that needs to be settled before I can submit my paper for publication is the matter of The Ripples.
The ripples are an artifact of a numerical trick I had to use to make the computation run quickly when the plasma beta is near 100%. I had to interpolate one of the intermediate steps, rather than calculating the exact result every time. The ripples go away when I switch off the interpolation step -- it's just prohibitively slow.
So, this is the last hurdle. Then I can publish. Woo hoo!
