In the specific case that was being discussed here, the mathematical modelling is perfectly legitimate for publication, assuming it was done correctly. And it would be quite reasonable to add to it a note about making a formal comparison with Cassini images when they become available, "but a preliminary examination of unvalidated data suggests...".

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Dec 15 2005, 05:28 PM) In the specific case that was being discussed here, the mathematical modelling is perfectly legitimate for publication, assuming it was done correctly. How about this though--it's based on the locations of the tiger stripes, the existence and nature of which was not known previously--the locations determined from un-PDS'ed "raw" images from the ISS team. So would that then make any results tainted? As for correctness--you are right--a little more verification is called for. -------------------- |

So would that then make any results tainted? All I'm really saying is that I'd rather be on a ship to another planet at the moment that a certain team leader discovers any of the raw Cassini data being published in any form of scientific analysis by anybody not on the team. That being said, here's an example of a paper recently presented at AGU by a scientist who spoke generally about the geophysical effects of a modeled plume on "mini-moons" including Miranda, Enceladus, Mimas, and Proteus. It's a nice example of not talking about the gorilla in the room. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
