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.
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.
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.
StarFit, a tool for matching stellar abundance data to nucleosynthesis, was outdated and required a comprehensive revamp.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.
