Computer Networking in Astronomy
1995The academic and research community has long had a raw deal, in having to put up with a very unapproachable user interface. Other communities have demanded more. Even Unix software has been influenced, albeit with considerable delay, by the working environments of Windows and Macintosh machines.

The Personal Computer for Teaching Astronomy
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1990The two interactive software packages, which we called ASTRONOMIA 1 and ASTRONOMIA 2 (in the following Al and A2) and developed for a personal computer under MS-DOS, are primarily intended to be used in junior-high and high schools as tools for teaching astronomy.

Computer vision experiments in crowdsourced astronomy
2016 New York Scientific Data Summit (NYSDS), 2016Structure-from-motion (SfM) is a computer vision method that enables the recreation of a 3D object by combining images of that object from many different angles. We apply SfM techniques to images of Jupiter crowdsourced from the amateur astronomy website AstroBin.

Early applications of computer technology to dynamical astronomy
Celestial Mechanics, 1988The review traces the progress from the early application of the Hollerith Tabulating Machine to the construction of astronomical tables by interpolation and to the evaluation of Brown’s Tables of the Moon by L. J. Comrie in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s to the introduction of large programmable electronic calculators in the post World War II era ...

Computer Program for Horizontal Circle Astronomy
Journal of the Surveying and Mapping Division, 1966Any astronomical observation taken on the horizontal circle of a theodolite may be represented by an equation in three unknowns, latitude, longitude, and azimuth. In practice, observations are usually made to determine only one specific unknown. Such an observation represents a special case of the general equation.
