Software and sociology in UK astronomy [PDF]
Astronomy and Geophysics, 2002 I discuss the remit of Starlink's software strategy groups and a particular item on the agenda of a meeting of the image processing software strategy group held on 26th January 2001: `Why don't people use Starlink software?'. The answer to this question was speculated to be primarily a sociological effect: those people supervising UK astronomy Ph.D ...

A Systematic Magnetic Polarity Inversion Line Data Set from SDO/HMI Magnetograms
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Magnetic polarity inversion lines (PILs) detected in solar active regions have long been recognized as arguably the most essential feature for triggering instabilities such as flares and eruptive events (i.e., eruptive flares and coronal mass ejections).

HAFFET: Hybrid Analytic Flux FittEr for Transients
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The progenitors for many types of supernovae (SNe) are still unknown, and an approach to diagnose their physical origins is to investigate the light-curve brightness and shape of a large set of SNe.

International standards for software structures in astronomy [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1982 AbstractThe increasing request for astronomical data processing facilities forces the definition of standards for astronomical application software. Separating the application module from the interfaces to the data processing system allows to identify the standard user interaction interface, the standard data storage interface, the standard dedicated ...
