Discovery of 15 asteroids, that makes 1051 asteroids’ discoveries and two comet discoveries with CoLiTec software application.
Summer-2012 version of CoLiTec (CLT) project
The projects updating:
1. Updated procedure of decision taking in detection of supernova in “SuperNova” module.
2. Developed DelFits library for fits-frames’ processing on Delphi. Updated intraframe processing module for DelFits library permits to upgrade processing stability (creating of the list of hypothetic objects on the image); to save on disk processed images; to process, if needed, fragments of frames and not the whole frames.
3. Developed and in testing – module of observations’ processing for gamma-ray burst optical afterglow “CLT-Gamma”. It includes: start program and computation paralleling (alerts, receiving via e-mail; data input; launch of software’s clones after the number of used CPU cores; monitoring of processing status); observations’ processing program (search for frames; frames alignment; frames stacking by different scripts; catalog formation for objects detected in different stacking scripts; search of objects corresponding to the afterglow; report generation; automatic report sending via e-mail); results viewer (permits to load different stacking scripts; store objects selected by the operator; view data display and approximating model).
The present module was developed for ISON project and by mutual arrangement can be represented as its exclusive property.
4. Connection of DBMS-program of fit-frames, stored in observatory’s computers. DBMS will be used for parameters’ detection and estimation of optical transients.
5. Developed plugins for online astronomical catalogue base’s connecting: CDS_Vizier_NOMAD (access to NOMAD data) and CDS_Vizier_SDSS8 (access to SDSS DR8 data).
6. Fixed different bugs.
