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.
Parallel Bilby is a gravitational wave inference code that was running inefficiently. ADACS analysed the code to identify bottlenecks and gave recommendations on how to improve its performance.
StarFit, a tool for matching stellar abundance data to nucleosynthesis, was outdated and required a comprehensive revamp. ADACS assited by making key upgrades to the website, creating a PyPI python package, and adding features to the tool.
ADACS developed a web-based database and interface for the SMART pulsar survey, enabling cone searches, candidate ranking, and editing. The upgrades led to new pulsar discoveries, with data to be made publicly accessible via Data Central.
