GRB 070306 update / Poster Creation

The spike we are seeing in the GRB 070306 XRT wt power density spectra is looking to be less and less significant. We haven't taken into account some errors, for example, the pulsation of the general shape of the light curve (the envelope), which contributes noise in the power spectra. We didn't see the pulsation in the BAT data power spectra even though we expected to (although I still think we're doing something wrong with the BAT timing analysis). We haven't yet heard back from the Amsterdam team. Our team is meeting tomorrow to discuss it with all of us together for the first time.

In the meanwhile, I need to create and print my poster for the Amsterdam conference by next Friday. I looked through my sample of 46 GRBs and picked out the 12 that have flaring activity. I've started going through them to make sure I have consistently-made products, specifically, light curves and power spectra. I hope to compile all the plots tomorrow.
