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 developers collaborated with the Parallel Bilby team to overhaul their code, improving its structure, establishing tests for reproducibility, and instilling good development practices. This work set the foundations for future improvements to th
Enabling new science on the Huntsman Telescope by implementing a high frame rate "move mode" observing mode.
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.
