Paper write-up #3

@phajy here I am creating a place for any paper-related issues. I have added the following chapters in the article.tex file that I have pulled into my Overleaf. You can view and edit the file from here but if there is a better way to do it please let me know.

Iron line profiles

To talk about the theory and mathematics of relativistic iron lines. Origin, importance, etc.

Power law emissivity

To discuss the method used by Abdikamalov and how the power law is used to approximate emissivity

Self-consistent emissivity calculation

To focus on Taylor & Reynolds 2018 paper and point out the mistake we managed to find and explain, inc. overlay.jl plots.

Degenerate iron lines

Section to discuss degenerate iron line profiles as per Johannsen 2014, add the self-consistent cases and go more in-depth.

Once this is done it would be nice to also have two extra things that could be added in -- a degeneracies finder and a Gradus-based thick disc model that can be used to fit spectra.

I have (somewhat experimentally) setup a different Overleaf document that is directly connected to GitHub and emailed you and Fergus a link to the repository. The Menu button at the top left should allow you to push and pull changes to the repository via the GitHub link. So you have the choice of making changes on Overleaf and/or GitHub. Probably best to "pull" when you start doing some edits on GitHub and then "push" when you are done. Oh, the only slightly weird thing is that this synchronises to my fork of your repository. Not really a problem though because I can periodically do a PR (or you can ask for one) to get it back into your repository. Hope that makes sense. We can figure out how well it works by experimenting.

An extra thing to add to the "to do" list would be to see if Fergus can prepare an XSPEC compatible line profile model, specific to this use case.

@phajy just tested, works quite well -- once I change the overleaf file and sync it with GitHub it implements changes in your forked repo but then when I open a PR I can just merge it with mine no problem! 🥳
