DEMO

Dear prospective partners,

We would like to introduce you the results of CoLiTec (CLT) software implementation and the manual.

Statistics MPC
Software of Automatic Detection of Asteroids and Comets CoLiTec (CLT).
CoLiTec (CLT) was used by Leonid Elenin in his discovery of C/2010 X1 (Elenin) comet 10.12.2010 and P/2011 NO1 (Elenin) comet 07.07.2011.
CoLiTec (CLT) was used by A50 and H15 observatories in their discovery of more than 1000 asteroids (from 1.12. 2010).
Ready for collaboration..

Updated CoLiTec software (autumn-2012)

1. Development of a crops’ site has been done. Aim – comfortable remote work of observer (controller of OLDAS-CLT results) through channel with limited bandwidth. Site is adjusted for use with mobile devices. Several users can have an access at the same time; you can send both urgent and regular reports to the МРС.
Now suspicious parts on OLDAS-CLT (CoLiTec) series of frames are stored together with some housekeeping data in a separate folder; its content is automatically uploaded to the site server and when the next series of frames with suspicious parts is fully loaded this crop-series is ready for blinking.
Even if throughput of the channel is quite limited or you have a slow WiFi access – it will take some time to finish the download process but all the pictures, animation, blinking of suspicious parts will be offered in a comfortable for observer way.
November lunation 2012 – crops’ site will start its pilot exploitation in ISON-NM observatory.
2. Updated manual estimation of objects’ position.
3. Updated procedure of marks’ formation for external photometric catalog of frames identification program – upgraded reliability for frames with large fields of view processing by the present software.
4. Automatic sending off letters to MPC with processed areas and urgent sending off selected objects with high NEOCP rating to NEOCP.
5. СLT-SERVICE – beta version of online-service for frames’ processing. At the present moment it’s passing a test stage. Using СLT-SERVICE you will have an access to the software without downloading it. You need only to install a light client that will bring the information to the server. Than the frames will be processed and you will get back the results of this processing on your computer. We also suggest creation of an intermediate version. In this case, half of processing will be done on the user’s computer and it will cut down amount of transmitted data.

Further updating of the software:
1. A prototype creation for fuzzy-objects’ processing module (objects with fuzzy picture on the frame because of their movement).
2. New CLT- viewer.
3. Creation of a light version of the software. It will add the following functions: Track&Stack, downloading of catalogs, etc. The light version will not permit online processing and will request bigger involvement of an operator during CCD-frames’ processing.
4. Acceleration of fitting process with higher precision of its estimations.
5. Updating and approbation of online-service for СLT-SERVICE frames’ processing.
6. Creation of service adaptive background transfer of frames from the observatory to the server.
7. Software tools for observatory frames’ publication and other observatories published frames’ use according to IVOA standards.
8. Creation and approbation of database marks (for optical transients).
