DeepSurveySim: Simulation Software and Benchmark Challenges for Astronomical Observation Scheduling [PDF]
Modern astronomical surveys have multiple competing scientific goals. Optimizing the observation schedule for these goals presents significant computational and theoretical challenges, and state-of-the-art methods rely on expensive human inspection of simulated telescope schedules.

Computer Simulations of Astronomical Phenomena [PDF]
The basic idea of this project is to introduce a senior student to an astronomical phenomenon that he analyses carefully and simulates on the graphic screen of a personal computer. In a second step, this simulation serves as a demonstration for junior students.Three examples are presented here: the retrograde motion of the planets, the Earth’s rotation,

Simulation of astronomical aspects of Middle Neolithic circular ditch systems [PDF]
Introduction The oldest Middle European monuments (approx. 4850/4750 – 4550/4500 BC) were presented in the Lower Austrian County Exhibition at Heldenberg in 2005 (Daim & Neubauer, 2005). The Middle Neolithic circular ditch systems, or Kreisgrabenanlagen (KGA), are known all over Middle Europe. These wooden monuments form a first pan-European phenomenon,

Multi-Color Temperature and Magnitude Simulation for Astronomical Spectral Velocity Measurement [PDF]
The simulation of terrestrial stellar radiation information suffers from distortions due to limited precision of stellar spectrum and magnitude simulations. Hence, the effective verification and evaluation of experimental conditions for new techniques such as astronomical spectral velocity measurement and navigation are hindered.

The Design and Simulation of an Astronomical Clock [PDF]
This paper describes and explains the synthesis of an astronomical clock mechanism which displays the mean position of the Sun, the Moon, the lunar node and zodiac circle as well as the Moon phases and their motion during the year as seen from the Earth. The clock face represents the stereographic projection of the celestial equator, celestial tropics,
