On this post I am going to show a comparison between the different optimization algorithms implemented till now in CTLearn, all of them applied to the same telescope and with the same configuration. This is useful to find the similarities and differences between optimization methods, as well as chec ...READ MORE...
In the past few weeks, I spent a lot of time learning how to visualize a 3D vector field interactively. As mentioned in previous posts, my project is aiming to reconstruct the solar magnetic field according to boundary conditions, which are usually the observed image from satellites.Therefore, how t ...READ MORE...

Everything is almost done.The work on parfive has been:CLI for parfive. PRConcurrent multipart downloads. PRObserver pattern refactor fo ...READ MORE...
[Week 11] — Fixing the dreaded bugThe joy of fixing a bug is unexplainable!This blog post deals with the entry of tasks that I did for the 11th week for the project under Google Summer of Code 2019.Working on the APE14 in astropy plottingI had been working on the astropy branch, so I had been regula ...READ MORE...
GSoC 2019: Project IRISpy 3.1 — the Way DownGrateful to report that I have eventually solved the issues encountered as stated in blog post 2.2 in the series for my GSoC project… and most important of all with my mentors’ blessings I have successfully passed the 2nd coding phase. Moreover, I am delig ...READ MORE...
Tasks for this last period... While checking the stability of the 0.13, GSOC continues and new bugs, implementations, and others need to be solved for the 0.14. Most of them are related to:
New frame modeling, implementation, and testing. New plotting capabilities, such us two attractors in the sam ...READ MORE...
The second evaluation period has come to the end and with the end of the program drawing ever closer, I'm happy to announce that most work on the additional deliverables has been complete! CZML3 I've added polylines and points (along with myriad of other dependent properties/types). These also mar ...READ MORE...
What I completed this week: Continued working on the signal to noise functions pull request to synphot Changed function names from howell_snr to ccd_snr and exptime_from_howell_snr to exptime_from_ccd_snr, which are more descriptive/informative The units returned by ccd_snr are now dimensionless Beg ...READ MORE...
What I completed this week: Traveled to Seattle, where I’ll be for the rest of the summer Added documentation on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) functions to the synphot docs Integrated the SNR functions into the synphot tutorials I’ve been working on Checked that the binned photometry (aka spectros ...READ MORE...
