Ending of 2nd evaluation period: new propagator in parabolic region, J3 perturbation, continuous thrustHello everyone! The second period of GSoC is ending and there’s a lot to tell about what has been done.New parabolic propagatorIn the region where e ~ 1, orbit is called near-parabolic, i.e. very c ...READ MORE...

Can’t believe time flew so quickly!With the second evaluation period almost coming to an end, we have attached units to almost every single module in HelioPy! Conversion to units has essentially migrated the entire HelioPy from Pandas to TimeSeries, save for some modules, which will be converted bef ...READ MORE...

Hello World!It has been some time since I gave you any updates on Learn Astropy website, so here it is the Diary 3.01. Why 3 and not 2? Because the first coding phase of GSoC 18 has ended and in fact, we are already two weeks into the second phase. By the way, I have successfully passed the first ev ...READ MORE...

Hello everyone! During the last two weeks, I’ve been finishing primary perturbation goals and was studying the robust Kepler equation solution proposed in the paper “Robust resolution of Kepler’s equation in all eccentricity regimes”, Davide Farnocchia et al. The guy now works in NASA, actually :)So ...READ MORE...

These last two weeks have been a roller coaster ride in terms of both of my coding and personal experiences.The first evaluations went well , and for the first time someone credited to my bank account other than my father. These are the few moments in life where you feel genuinely happy, no exciteme ...READ MORE...

We’re currently working on developing a new Plasma subclass. It is supposed to read HDF5 files that are based on OpenPMD standard and we have a sort of prototype ready in #500. It should be ready to merge once we figure out how we are supposed to handle the example datasets for our tests. It probabl ...READ MORE...

Passed the first evaluation! It was the morning of 15th June, I got up and as a habit checked my emails. There it was, a mail stating, “You’ve passed the first evaluation!”. Oh, it felt so good that I slept again, haha! Anyway, I did my first phase work near to the deadline and it was a bit due to m ...READ MORE...

I had a very awesome (totally IMO) title for this strory,eval('phase1'). It got published, but no one can access it. So this is the same story with a less interesting heading.The GSoC phase 1 evaluation is here. 🎉!I am done with what I was supposed to do for phase 1, minus a submodule. The submodule ...READ MORE...

Photo from my Google Photos archiveFinally, it rained here, making it a perfect time to drink tea, enjoy pakodas and play guitar!Also, phase 1 evaluation is over! What did I do? I finished the implementation of CCF phase-resolved spectroscopy technique. I wrote the complete pipeline starting from fi ...READ MORE...

The GSoC phase 1 evaluation is here. 🎉!I am done with what I was supposed to do for phase 1, minus a submodule. The submodule left over from phase 1 is database, because it depended on net. But I have made up for that by finishing up transition of 3 submodules from phase 2. So I’d say I’m in a prett ...READ MORE...
