Writing our own ODE integratorThe poliastro’s main feature is the ability to propagate bodies on their orbits during time. However, if there are some forces other than the usual Newtonian gravity, one needs to integrate the equations of motion numerically. The equations that we integrate are called ...READ MORE...
Twas the month of May,A day before the void of lunar countenance,Was when it began.TL;DR On May 14th, the coding period began. Yep! The fun part where you write code and get started with your project!Back when I first started coding, I didn't really care how my code looked. For me, what held more im ...READ MORE...
We’re mostly done with structuring our Plasma factory. The PR (#459) just got merged yesterday! I’d have to say we weren’t expecting this to work out this quickly.
The reference to SunPy’s Map source made it a tad easier to understand how things are supposed to work for our PlasmaPy’s Plasma. :D
Things are going great! The coding period has begun and I can see my progress here. I read a research paper on “Phase-resolved spectroscopy of low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations”. It was exciting to learn new concepts.Coming to dealing with real dataset, Abigail Stevens gave me toy kHz, type- ...READ MORE...
End of Community Bonding Period
May 15, 2018, marks the end of Community Bonding Period of GoogleSummerofCode’18. This period was basically focused on to make the selected participants for familiar with their mentors and community. My bonding well with the community and the mentors it would only he ...READ MORE...
Hello World,Somehow every new chapter in my coding life starts with the iconic “Hello world”. I find that it has a deep philosophical feel to it with many interpretations. It’s like a program coming to life and greeting the world.. or maybe like a coder announcing their presence to the world which g ...READ MORE...

The community bonding period is ending soon and I would like to tell what I’ve managed to achieve and contribute so far.My major at the university is physics and my research is devoted to supercomputer simulations of strongly-coupled systems such as quark-gluon plasma (the one that people study at c ...READ MORE...
I am working with SunPy (The S and P are capitalized, very important 😏) for GSoC 2018. I am supposed to write blog posts discussing my progress among other stuff. So here I am.Quoting SunPy github README.md,SunPy is an open-source Python library for solar physics data analysisNow you know what SunPy ...READ MORE...
