I thought the first month will be the toughest as there lies the trickiest part of the project. But guess what, the second month proved otherwise. But that’s the reality of GSoC, right? Until you have faced the challenges at least once, you won’t grow better to face it the next time. I am glad of th ...READ MORE...
During this weeks I have been working mainly on the implementation of the Gaussian Processes based Bayesian Optimization using the scikit-optimize package (also known as skopt).Regarding the hyperparameter space, this implementation only supports uniform, quniform, loguniform and choice options, whi ...READ MORE...
GSoC 2019: Project IRISpy 2.2 — The final hurdleTo follow up, the problem encountered as reported in edition 2.1 in this series has been resolved with the help of my very helpful and responsive mentors. But some lingering issues remain, which we suspect to be mostly indexing-related, as is apparent ...READ MORE...
The fifth part of the ongoing series of my blog posts on my experience in the Google Summer of Code. I am working with Sunpy on their solar image processing toolkit, Sunkit-image. As of now two months have already and it has been an enriching experience. The second evaluation is also just around the ...READ MORE...
What I completed this week: Made a pull request to synphot for implementing the signal-to-noise calculators that I wrote last week. I forgot to mention in my blog post last week that writing this module was a really useful exercise for me because I was introduced to so many new things! Like: writing ...READ MORE...
What are propagators and why do we care about them? One of the most common problems in astrodynamics and orbital mechanics is that we want to know where a body will be at a given position along its orbit for a given time. It is possible to integrate by hard the two-body equation and then apply some ...READ MORE...
I feel like in the last couple of weeks I got to work a little in several aspects of the project. While this didn't allow me to focus on a single feature, it allowed me to make progress in various different areas. Bug resolving and 2D mode First and foremost, I got rid of a particularly frustrating ...READ MORE...
My tasks for phase-2 is mostly centered around improving parfive.Python asyncio turned out to be trickier than I thought. This is surprising because I have had my share of JS and Dart which has more or less similar async paradigms.Anyway, after learning asyncio, I implemented downloading by parts fo ...READ MORE...

What I completed these last two weeks: Trying to solve the offset problem for example 2: Do the same analysis for multiple objects. Is the systematic error still there?The systematic error persists strongly for both objects, as you can see in the Figure 1 below. So it’s not object-specific, and I th ...READ MORE...
