Hadn't realized I posted so little in April. Have been working on:
* Improving MATLAB code for disk wind modelling, and running models. Going OK, but just recently some weird profiles have turned up, so I need to make sure they don't reflect any bug(s). And some more wind streamline laws need to be coded in, to explore a bit more parameter space.
* Thinking and writing about "polar" BAL quasars. I random-walked my way to disproving them. In the long run worth doing; in the short run mildly annoyed at all the dead ends followed. Everything is more complex and takes longer to understand than you imagine it is and will at first.
* Measuring some spectral parameters for weak-line quasars, as a follow-on to the PHL 1811 analog work.
Today am going to look at some BAL quasar spectra from SDSS-III.
