Supplemental Materials

We try to provide full explanations and citations in the documentation for each individual function (see Usage section), but some topics need a bit more space to explain. This section is for those topics.

 

---

• Impact Demagnetization
  • Explaining and deriving our analytical model for calculating subsurface impact pressures.
  • Used in:
    • redplanet.analysis.impact_demag.compute_pressure(...).
• Radial Profile
  • Visual explanation of how we compute radial/cross-sectional averages while respecting geodesic distances.
  • Used in:
    • redplanet.analysis.radial_profile.get_concentric_ring_coords(...)
    • redplanet.analysis.radial_profile.get_profile(...)
• Plotting
  • Tips, code snippets, and resources on plotting data with matplotlib (unfortunately it's less straightforward than you might expect — we plan on adding a plotting feature to RedPlanet in the future, but it will always be helpful to know how to do it yourself).
