16 Informatics (Applied to Astronomy) at UCN

17 Initial Efforts [1/2] Thesis: Software de Control de Telescopios. J. Pavlich, 1999

18 Initial Efforts [2/2] Thesis: Una Visión Globalizada de Alma Common Software para el Desarrollo de Componentes en el Observatorio Cerro Armazones. P. Bugueño, S. Caro, 2008 o First work on ACS at the UCN o Implementation of a control module for the master GPS clock of the HPT

19 Current Projects

20 Dome Control Software Student: Ian Bugueño Includes implementing Java drivers to control the dome at the Sirius Observatory.

21 Automatic Periodic Error Correction on an LX200 Student: Nallib Tala Motion tracking software to automate the PEC training system of the LX200

22 Control Software for the IRIS Telescope Student: Manuel Parra IRIS = InfraRed Imaging Survey o Developed by Bochum University jointly with Hawaii Institute of Astronomy o 31 inch alt-azimuth-nasmyth-system o 1k x 1k CCD. o To be installed at OCA on early 2010 Porting ACS 4.0 HPT software to ACS 8.0 Adapting the software for the IRIS telescope

23 ACS-Based Lucky Imaging [1/3] LucaEM EMCCD Camera Technical Specifications o Active Pixels 658 x 496 (VGA) o Frame Rate 37.2 fps Video-like frame rate o A lot of data, really fast o CORBA can t handle it o Can't use lossy compression o How can we stream that information to a client?

24 ACS-Based Lucky Imaging [2/3] ACS bulk data transfer o TCP connection outside CORBA o Better transfer rate than CORBA TCP GUI Receiver Sender CCD Camera

25 ACS-Based Lucky Imaging [3/3] Current status o Using Bulk data transfer to send the data o Starting tests of performance o Unifying legacy code with the new implementation End-of-year goals o First version of a driver model for Lucky Imaging Cameras o Reference implementation using a webcam o GUI Client to operate the camera o Explore non-destructive compression to reduce bandwidth (optional)

26 Eclipse-Mapping Software Jaime Pavlich, Eduardo Unda Eclipse Mapping (EM) o Indirect observation method to infer the geometry of Cataclysmic Variable (CV) Stars o Input: Light Curve of a CV o Output: NxN matrix with the brightness of the accretion disk of the CV Current software o Not easy to use o Limited to specific optimization algorithms Create a reusable library for EM that could utilize multiple optimization algorithms

27 Future Projects Utilize ACS to integrate all of the OCA telescopes o Coordinated operation of all telescopes could be possible! Joint Project on Engineering around Astronomy o goos = gtcs + gics + DT
