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..

Discovery of 23 asteroids, that makes 1317 asteroids’ discoveries and three comet discoveries with CoLiTec software application.

Updated version of CoLiTec software-spring 2013

1. Software «LookSky» development (instead of «ViewCLT») for astronomic images’ visualization (FITS format) and its processing by CLT software.
Its main priorities:
- improved quality of FITS files’ display;
- flex system of image’s adjustment (added zooming and rotating functions);
- additional software tools for control of images’ display and saving full report for processed series of frames;
- additional facilities for frame’s navigation;
- function of selected area animated file’s creation (GIF format) for series of frames.
We tried to economize resources’ use by a PC user – the software permits to view “big size” frames (700 MB and more).
User interface updated – «LookSky» has a comfortable design and high usability.
2. Track&Stack software created (light version): frames’ filtering, frames’ astro-photoreduction, centering, addition of frames with a set astronomical shift. This module is supposed to be used in semiautomated mode and is close to the corresponding observer’s APM.
3. Extended filter’s functional FHF v.5.0 – new procedure of a frame’s background alignment by a median filter. Due to this procedure frame’s alignment can be reduced by tree times and permits to upgrade quality of frame’s background alignment on the edges.
4. Developed software of the fast fitting. Due to the code’s optimization (quality loss-free) we can save time (by 5-7 times).
New procedures of frame’s alignment and fitting reduced time spent for intraframe processing by 4 times and total time of the software’s processing reduced by 15%.
5. Provided possibility to be used in UCAC4 as an astrometric catalogue.
6. Provided possibility to use catalogues UCAC4, USNOB, SDSS8, NOMAD1 with an on-line uploading (you don’t have to store them on CLT-computer).
7. Updated modules of crops’ site and OLDAS-CLT modules of interaction.
8. Updated crops’ site

Future updatings:

1. Development of software means for observatory’s frames publication and application of other published observatories’ frames according to IVOA standards.
2. Updating and testing (for optical transients) of marks’ DB.
3. Development of a module’s prototype for fuzzy objects’ processing (objects with a vague image on a frame because of their speed).
4. Rise of fitting’s precision due to the more correct fitting of close objects.
5. Development of the second version of frames’ processing software while detecting and estimating parameters of optical GRB afterglow.
6. Updating of СLT-SERVICE (on-line service of frames’ processing).
7. Development of frames’ adaptive background transfer from observatory to the server.
8. Updating and testing of crops’ site.
9. Development of software’s light version (continuation).
