In a previous semester ADACS conducted a code audit for the Fireballs in the sky app (see here). This audit resulted in a detailed plan for all the work needed to reimplement the app, and to incorporate new features. In short, the goals for this semester were to use React Native to create a 3d planetarium viewer that would allow users to trace the trajectory of a meteor, indicate the brightness and colour, and make notes about fragmentation and sounds.
New features for this app include:
This project ran over two semesters (2024B and 2025A).
Check out some of our other projects.
TRACET is a web app that uses VOEvent alerts to decide which transient events to observe with the MWA telescope, streamlining the process of rapid-response observations.
ADACS developed a web app and API for SimSpin, allowing users to explore galaxy simulations and download FITS files, enhancing accessibility and supporting global collaboration in galaxy research.
The CoCoNuT supernova simulation code has a 6-dimensional radiation solver module for simulating neutrino transport. This method is computationally expensive to run, so ADACS enhanced this module with MPI to run in parallel on supercomputers.
