I spent much of the day tracing out software used by the Fu Ori teams mentioned in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad31a1. It is badly organized by my lights (My first full time job was “scientific programmer” for satellite orbit determination in 1970) and I spent much of the last 26 years every day looking at ways to simplify

I am reading the 14 repositories for CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) at https://github.com/orgs/casangi/repositories There are only 6942 files and 1814 folders in total and what appears to be many duplicates. And MANY duplicate file and folder names. A good part of the problem with CASA is the poor methods for file management. If

Black Hole Hunters @BlackHoleHunter We’re back! 🎉 We have new data, a (slightly) different name, and more chance than ever of finding the elusive, hidden black holes that we’re looking for. Find out more here https://zooniverse.org/projects/cobalt-lensing/black-hole-hunters/talk/4563/3230866 Replying to @BlackHoleHunter Black Hole Hunting can be more efficient if it is a global community.

I heard that Elon Musk was going to put high resolution lossless format cameras on all his satellites — pointing at all part of the heavens, to give all humans a live stream of their part of the night sky. Thanks, Elon, for giving back the night sky. Two billion kids say thanks. @X, Could

Richard Posted on Twitter (“X”): @zdhnarsil There are many Internet topics badly fragmented because groups do not think globally. Solar groups ought to give one seamless “sun”. https://helioviewer.org/ https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ AIs COULD provide global context, but AI dev groups, themselves, provide no stability. Richard Posted on Twitter (“X”): Experimental view of the Sun, from 02 to

Halo CME @halocme These supra-arcade downflows (SAD) (including tadpoles) tend to follow a very big eruption as we see them here. twitter.com/TrestanSimon/s… Quote Tweet Trestan Simon @TrestanSimon The eruption associated with today’s X-class solar flare was also associated with supra-arcade downflows, dark tadpole-shaped features that sometimes appear descending above flare arcades.

I want observing stations near the sun to monitor it closely and continuously. Sunlight so close, might as well gather some into “atomic fuel”. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: The earth has a specific distance and velocity for “geosynchronous” satellites. What is the radius and velocity of a solar synchronous orbit for a satellite

Hi Athiray, I was just going to write you. I am reading about soft x-ray camera noise. “Performance characterization of UV science cameras developed for the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter” And now reading “Modeling charge transport in Swept Charge Devices for X-ray spectroscopy” I have been tracking the solar imaging groups for several years, and slowly

“Global MHD Simulations of the Time-Dependent Corona” at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371786836_Global_MHD_Simulations_of_the_Time-Dependent_Corona Robert, I am reading “Global MHD Simulations of the Time-Dependent Corona” that you, Roberto Lionello, and Viacheslav Titov wrote. The links you have at the top “NASA Grant NNX14AH71G” and “Streamer Belt” go to a ResearchGate page that says projects are no longer supported. I managed

Subject: Exactly how are the 4096_211193171 images made from AIA 211 193 and 171? 48 hour movies Dean, I am looking at these blended images, and they are helpful But I would like to be sure I know exactly what goes into them and also be able to change the composition. https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/ https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/browse/2023/06/28/20230628_045709_4096_211193171n.jpg I asked
