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).

StarFit, a tool for matching stellar abundance data to nucleosynthesis, was outdated and required a comprehensive revamp.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.
MCFOST encountered development hurdles amidst growing collaborators. ADACS assisted in implementing GitHub Actions for automated testing and version releases, streamlining workflow and enhancing code reliability.
Enabling new science on the Huntsman Telescope by implementing a high frame rate "move mode" observing mode.
