What I completed this week: Moved basically all of the stuff I’ve been exploring with synphot over to astroplan, which in hindsight makes more sense! In brief, this is what I did: Added a new module exptime.py to astroplan, which uses synphot to calculate the exposure time needed to obtain a given s ...READ MORE...
It has now been twelve weeks since I began this journey and finally, the curtains on this arduous and breathtaking adventure have been begun to fall. This week it will be last week as an official Google Summer of Code and this will be my final post as a student. I can feel the nostalgia gripping me. ...READ MORE...
As the proverb says "all good things must come to an end". Unfortunately, it's time to bid adieu to the summer and have a look on what has been accomplished so far. The CZML Extractor This was undoubtedly the main and most time-consuming part of the project. The extractor allows users to easily conv ...READ MORE...

Reformat on poliastro.atmosphere After implementing the COESA62 and COESA76 models in #738 I was not completly happy because of lots of data and coefficients at the beginning of each script. Therefore and after asking Juanlu, it was finally decided to move all those numbers to text files under the * ...READ MORE...

What I completed this week: Submitted my synphot tutorials as a pull request to astropy/astropy-tutorials. Just waiting for someone (outside of my GSoC mentors) to review! Moved my synphot work (including the wrapper and signal-to-noise functions) into an experimental folder. I’m still uncertain whe ...READ MORE...
In this week, I started to move to Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) models. I am going to make an introduction to these models in this post.PFSS models are aiming to solve the magnetic field satisfying∇ × B = 0, ∇ · B = 0in a spherical region with appropriate boundary conditions. Therefore, thi ...READ MORE...

What I completed this week: Continued working on the synphot wrapper class, which we’ve renamed “Exposure” (since “Observe” is a little too close to the other synphot class “Observation”). So far this class works pretty much like how I imagined it last week, where the most simple (read: default) syn ...READ MORE...
