Final Level - GSoC’18
This post is to update readers on my work after the phase 2 of GSoC. So, continuing after a milestone task of making the AstroTime.jl written completely in Julia. After the 2 months long coding spree, I was able to publish the final PR, excise erfa and thus completing the majo ...READ MORE...
Hey everyone!These two weeks we were concentrated on two major commits: maneuvers and speeding up Newton method.ManeuversManeuvers are artificial perturbations to the keplerian trajectory. Three years ago Juan wrote some code for various known optimal maneuvers (with least fuel consumption), but did ...READ MORE...
My Math teacher at Kota (Raj., India) used to say that about July but for some other reason. That’s a story for some other day.https://medium.com/media/b3025817941b7a5e251df122b41d72a9/hrefWhat’s up in the last few weeks? Nothing much actually. Between watching Netflix hits and playing guitar, somet ...READ MORE...
Oh, there we go! Time for GSoC’s pre-final blog post.
Ah, so the last week was a bit draining for me. My college started last monday and I accidently messed up my Linux machine the next day! Never ever remove (apt purge) the dbus package (especially not when playing with python-dbus package). It wi ...READ MORE...
“Halfway!”But before I begin, this is not a reference to that really bad, comedy movie starring Ice-Cube, but that nursery rhyme on ABCKids.The 2nd Evaluations are already here!The good news is, HelioPy will no longer be required any extra installation to handle CDF files! HelioPy will migrate to cd ...READ MORE...
During this period, nothing big happened except we’re able to get merge a new Plasma subclass supposed to work with OpenPMD Datasets #500! It still isn’t very efficient to work with larger datasets and should rather be considered a prototype at the moment. It currently supports reading only mesh dat ...READ MORE...
GSoC - Phase two update.Phase 2 couldn’t have been more interesting. My last blog post concentrated on the first two weeks of this phase. To summarize, I worked on extracting a subcube using regions.Regions (and CRTF/DS9 region files, indirectly) from a spectral_cube.SpectralCube which is basically ...READ MORE...
Ending the Phase 2
So today, on the onset of evaluation period of Phase 2. I would like to update all the reader about my work from the last post. It’s officially the end of Phase 2! We’re 2/3 of the journey of GSoC but it just began! Einstein’s theory of relativity thus seems to play its role: TIM ...READ MORE...
It’s acidic.I’m kidding. [pH]ase 2 was neutral. Phase 2 was really smooth. It was so smooth that I accidentally missed a blog post (no one noticed, including me) and still don’t have a lot to write about.Phase 2 was mostly cleaning up and finishing off remaining work. The coding work for GSoC is alm ...READ MORE...
It’s been a while since I wrote an article. Last two weeks were uneventful and there’s not much to share. The progress looks good and I am eager to submit my code for the second evaluation.I have written tutorials for the phase-resolved spectroscopy methods of Quasi-periodic oscillations proposed in ...READ MORE...
