Subject: Effective Emissivity Analysis and RIN Update 

A quick update on the effective emissivity analysis for the CIT FROSTI testing:

I was able to (roughly) match the OPD data to a referenced COMSOL model, with an applied power of 12.6 W (as seen below). However, when changing the emissivity of the ETM in COMSOL, the dT profiles do not seem to change much. I am not sure as to why this is the case at the moment, and will continue to look further.

Additionally attached are the current RIN measurements of the FROSTI prototype. Shown is the PSDs of both channels, in reference to their individual backgrounds.
