Getting into SunPyPart 2: Pull Request: Spectrogram log y axis #291   I have found data that can be used with Sunpy's spectrogram class! A solar radio spectrometer called CALLISTO is used internationally for networking solar radio data (with direct access!). Technically, I am using the CallistoSpe ...READ MORE...

Getting into SunPy Attempting Pull Request: Spectrogram log y axis #291  I'm love spectra. So, when the GSoC process required that I dive into issues in the open source Python library SunPy, I looked for something regarding spectra. I'm still getting used to GitHub, though, so attempting to change ...READ MORE...

Implementing AIA response functions in SunPy   Project Abstract: Solar physics uses the CHIANTI atomic physics database to obtain properties about various elements and ionisation states. By using observed elemental abundances and ionization states, one can use CHIANTI to obtain synthetic spectra of ...READ MORE...

I found the “Improvements to the SunPy database” project interesting among the ideas present in SunPy’s wiki page. This project appealed to me the most because it would integrate Fido into SunPy’s database, which in turn would really open up the SunPy’s database module to a world of possibilities. T ...READ MORE...

This year I'm applying to the Google Summer of Code under the Astropy community. I'm in the process of preparing my proposal, and potential mentors are actually taking a look at it.

Shortly, my proposal concerns the issue of fitting point spread functions (PSF) to crowded fields (i. e., a image ...READ MORE...

I first contacted SunPy through their IRC channel because I found one of their ideas interesting. Being a newbie to the world of Open Source, I was at first intimidated by the “Intermediate” difficulty tag of the project. So, I started by going through the issues page and went through all the Databa ...READ MORE...
