    galprop_propel

    GALPROP update for accurate propagation calculation

    The GALPROP program (http://galprop.stanford.edu) computes cosmic-ray propagation numerically. To obtain manifestly accurate solutions an explicit method is now available to replace the Crank-Nicolson operator-splitting method. This can be implemented in the public version of GALPROP with the update provided here. Instructions: replace the four files propel.cc, propel_diagnostics, Galdef.cc and Galdef.h and rebuild the executable. Add solution_method and solution_convergence to the galdef parameter file. A test GALDEF file with these parameters is galdef_54_reltest09; the diagnostics document the accuracy of the solution. A full explanation is given in the GALPROP Explanatory Supplement http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~aws/galprop_explanatory_supplement.pdf Thanks to Deepak Khurana for requesting and testing this update. Now replaced by this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/galprop where further updates can be found.

    gcr_convert

    converts cosmic-ray files from GALPROP for viewing / plotting.

    The GALPROP program (http://galprop.stanford.edu) computes cosmic-ray propagation in the Galaxy, in 2D or 3D. The ouput cosmic-ray distribution is in the form of FITS files which however are not convenient for viewing or plotting with the standard ftools program fv, since the files have 4 or 5 dimensional arrays (due to the momentum and species axes) while fv handles only 3 dimensional arrays. This program converts to fv-compatible FITS files, either from 2D to (R,z) or from 3D to (x,z) at y=0 or (x,y) at z=0, in each case for a chosen cosmic-ray species. The third axis is momentum in each case. The distribution can be viewed with fv as a colour image, contoured, output to a file etc. The program is stand-alone and requires only the cfitsio library to be installed. Build instructions are in the program header. The FITS.cc/FITS.h class used provides simple convenient access to image data, useful also for other projects. For fv and cfitsio see http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio

    hadronic gamma rays

    gamma rays from hadronic processes in astrophysics

    Cosmic-ray hadronic interaction matrices for gamma-ray and other secondaries for an interstellar medium target are available as described in Huang et al. Astroparticle Physics, 27, 429 (2007). These require significant effort in practice to compute emissivities for given input spectra. To supplement these matrices I provide here a C++ class which reads the matrices, interpolates on user-defined particle and gamma-ray energy grids, and computes the gamma-ray emissivity either differential or in user-defined bands. A sample user program is provided which can be edited to provide the required functionality. See also http://sourceforge.net/projects/galprop, which includes more models.

    indi-opencv

    OpenCV driver for INDI

    This driver allows to connect OpenCV videoCapture devices (cameras or avi files) as INDI CCD devices. In addition to standard CCD features, it supports streaming with stream rate division, together with a real-time histogram display. It also proposes simultaneous AVI recording at full FPS using available codecs. Record file names may be dynamically generated. It is aimed at planetary imaging in INDI and at testing various OpenCV image algorithms.

    indi-skywatcherprotocol

    INDI driver for mounts using the SkyWatcher Protocol through RS232

    This INDIdriver interacts with a mount controller using the Skywatcher Protocol through a serial link. It can directly drive Skywatcher and similar mounts through a serial port after a conversion of signal levels (see EQDIRECT interface), or any other mount hardware which uses this protocol. This project is similar in its goal to the EQMOD/EQASCOM project, but for the Linux/INDI world. Thus the name of the INDI device is "EQMod Mount", and the driver executable is indi_eqmod_telescope. ***** Refer to the libindi library ***** The driver is now included in the libindi library as a 3rd party driver (indi-eqmod).

    libnexstar

    C API to control NexStar compatible telescopes

    This library implements the serial commands supported by the Celestron NexStar hand control (HC) and SkyWatcher/Orion SynScan HC. This applies to the Celestron: NexStar GPS, NexStar GPS-SA, NexStar iSeries, NexStar SE Series, NexStar GT, CPC, SLT, Advanced-VX, Advanced-GT, CGE, CGEM etc. SkyWatcher: EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6 (Pro), AZ-EQ5 GT, AZ-EQ6 GT, EQ8 etc. and the corresponding Orion mounts. Communication to the hand control is 9600 bits/sec, no parity and one stop bit via the RS-232 port on the base of the hand control. Communication can be established over TCP/IP if nexbridge is running on the computer connected to the telescope. To control network based telescopes nexbridge must be used on the remote site. https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexbridge/
