A good day in lab at last!!!

Now this is shocking, last night I spent a few hours going through what the program was doing and tried to figure out what was going wrong. I came up with a solution. Now I did not think this would work, never does, but it did! Unbelievable! This now means that we can now do the appropriate fitting of our data that should allow us to calculate the orbital parameters of the stars under study.

On another point, I heard of some interesting research today. It seems that a team at the University of Hawaii have detected a star which has survived the supernova of its companion. This is the first to be detected and is a vindication for some theoretical models. The really interesting part is that by observing this over the next few years it may be able to detect a neutron star or black hole form in 'real time'.
