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).

ADACS significantly enhanced the NaCo pipeline by parallelising key functions within the VIP library, reducing execution times by a factor of six and enabling more efficient processing of direct imaging data from the ESO archive and beyond.
ADACS provided a solid foundation on which the GOTO-XBs team could further build the web app, and provided instructional information to up-skill the team.
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.
