GSoC 2020: Thus Ending

Abhijeet Manhas — Mon, 13 Nov 2017 05:54:00 GMT

This post marks the end of the summer of Code with Google. A lot I learned from the community; a lot I contributed to it. What I took back from GSoC is way more than what I put forward for it. So let’s see what I did in the last weeks.

I have now added a guide on how to Add “Attrs” to the registry in PR #4387. It is part of the developer guide for Fido.
I have added tests to check metadata queries in #4385 and ways to index the results using the client’s name. It eases to retrieve individual provider responses from a Fido result.

The hips package now supports parallel tile fetching. The user can achieve this either using urllib or aiohttp. In case of aiohttp, the fetched tile data is coupled with HipsTileMeta to create a HipsTile object.

GSoC final evaluation report

Adeel Ahmad — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:49:00 GMT

This blog post is a consolidated report of my GSoC ’21 project. I’ve been contributing to ndcube - a sunpy affiliated package, which is itself a part of the umbrella organization called openastronomy. Phew, that’s quite some hierarchy.

Here’s a list of pull requests that I’ve opened during the coding period:

Initial implementation for validating two WCS: Merged
Implements a function to check if two given WCS objects are compatible with each other for reprojecting the NDCube.
Reproject implementation: Merged
Adds a method to reproject an NDCube using the astropy package called reproject.
Reproject NDCube Documentation: Merged
Documentation for the above PR.
Combine cubes from NDCubeSequence using reproject: Unmerged
Stacks the data of all cubes in an NDCubeSequence together into one cube. This PR is ready to merge but awaits testing from the community.
Reproject NDCubeSequence Documentation: Unmerged
Documentation for the above PR. This will be merged after the code.
Support adaptive and exact algorithms for reproject: Unmerged
This PR is completed and is ready to merge.
Make reproject more efficient by identifying invariant axes: Unmerged
This PR is a work in progress and might need some time until it’s ready. The last commit on this PR as of writing this post can be found here.

I’ve also been writing blog posts throughout the coding period. Here are links to the 4 parts I’ve written so far: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. They contain a more technical description of the work along with some obstacles that we faced.

GSoC Blog#4 (Final Submission)

AMAN PANDEY — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 08:29:14 GMT

The James Webb Space Telescope is the $10 Billion successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. It can peer back into primordial times to show images of how the universe looked like around a quarter of a billion years after the Big Bang when the first stars and galaxies started to form.

Evaluation, a dreaded 10-letter word(just counted the number of letters😅) that brings stress and anxiety in everyone from a small kid to a golden-ager(sounds so much better than ‘old-person’ doesn’t it!!). The Cambridge dictionary defines evaluation (noun), ɪˌvæl.juˈeɪ.ʃən, as “ the process of judging or calculating the quality, importance, amount, or value of something”.
Evaluations bring the best or worst out of people. I work better under pressure, I am one of those guys who cannot work until the room is on fire😂(I have a better phrase but it doesn’t quite qualify as PG-13😜).

Evaluations although simple(the procedure) in GSoC are a big deal as they determine if you get (cue the Heavenly choir sound effect) the monthly stipend🤑, just kidding, they determine if the student will be allowed to continue their projects. There are three main evaluations, one after each month to quantify if the project achieves the goals that it intended to and if the time was utilized most efficiently for the greatest possible impact.

Connecting Spark Logs with Jupyter UI

Biswarup Banerjee — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 12:36:51 GMT

While all my blog posts till now were kind of abstract, here I will try to show some of the technical details of the project without making it too bloated. So as a one-line description, I had to study, implement and integrate a spectral estimation technique, namely the Multitaper Periodogram³ (and its derivatives¹), which are used to analyze astronomical time series.

Why spectral representations?

Before getting into the how of spectral analysis and its estimation, a brief sidenote on the why. Why do we even bother to study the spectral properties of a time series? It turns out, some of the determining characteristics or defining parameters associated with a certain time series are better brought out in their spectral representations (frequency domain representations).

As an example, the power spectral density is a common tool to try and unearth the periodic element(s) in a time series. Such spectral analysis techniques, at their core, are enabled by the Fourier Transform, and if you’d like to gain a better intuitive understanding of it, do check out this awesome video by Grant Sanderson on 3Blue1Brown.

CZML Extractor: An overview

Eleftheria Chatziargyriou — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 04:33:30 GMT

Since the last post, I worked on the moving-the-code task. Me, Nabil and Alasdair got on a call to discuss what should go where and I ended up creating a scraper_utils.py file to complement the scraper.py file. The other options were moving the functions to .util.net or inside the scraper.py file but outside the Scraper class. After I moved the tests as well, I wrote new tests, increased test coverage and renamed some functions which were previously named in the JavaScript-style CamelCase. +Universe OpenAstronomy (Posts by exitflynn)http://openastronomy.org/Universe_OA/

GSoC 2021 — Final Report

Summer of 2021 held quite a few surprises for me. I’d have never imagined working with SunPy as a GSoC student and here I am concluding it with the final report. Before I summarize all the 30+ pull requests I’ve made to Sunkit-Pyvista, I just want to take a moment to than the brilliant mentors I’ve gotten to work with. The were not only patient and understanding but also extremely helpful with making me understand how everything works.

Coming to Sunpy, or should I say Sunkit-Pyvista.

Sunkit-Pyvista was created with the intention of extending Sunpy’s extensive plotting capabilities to 3D with the help of a VTK wrapper for Python — Pyvista.

GSoC 2020: Blog 5 - Adding Kerr Null Geodesics functionality to EinsteinPy

Jyotirmaya Shivottam — Sat, 20 Aug 2016 03:42:00 GMT

Null Geodesics functionality has been implemented into EinsteinPy, with PR#527, having been merged 🎉🎉. I apologize for no blogs in the past 3 weeks. There was a COVID situation here, that required multiple tests and isolation and all that it entails. This led to me foregoing an entire week. And, when that had settled, I had to take the call on abandoning the plan of numerically integrating the Geodesics equations, due to the massive error accumulation, as discussed in my last blog. A confusing fact about that, was that Mathematica could still keep the error build-up to a minimum, while Python simply could not, even with adaptive and symplectic schemes. But the symplectic schemes did bring the error down, by around 2 orders of magnitude, which gave me the idea to take a Hamiltonian approach, which would increase the number of ODEs to solve, but drop the order by 1. And, as it turns out, the Kerr Hamiltonian is separable (Carter, 1968a [1]), which makes the implementation even simpler. In this blog, I will be discussing this approach, which has finally led to proper geodesic calculations. I have also included some plots (and a cool animation) for Kerr & Schwarzschild Null-like (and Time-like) geodesics.

Finally the issue resolves

Kartik Mandar — Sun, 27 Aug 2017 12:21:02 GMT

It is finally nearing the end of the project for me, as far as coding is concerned. Over the past few weeks I have spent some time on some last-ditch effort to debug with my mentors and to squeeze as much as I possibly could given the time constraint I have been under. These include but not limited to sorting out some generalisation issues that previously prevented glue PR #2167 from being usable for general FITS files, some type as well as wcs linkages issues in glue PR #2161 that cropped up after applying changes suggested in code review that have not been properly checked on my part. The pull requests started or completed for the project include but are not limited to the following list:

glue PR #2167 for updating 1D Profile viewer to use wcsaxes for plotting and add sliders
glue PR #2161 for updating ‘wcs_autolinking’ code to handle N-D cases using a generalised approach conforming to APE 14: Shared Python interface for World Coordinate Systems
glue PR #2164 for adding support to NDData for astropy package
glue PR #2131 for adding a preferred_cmap attribute to introduce a color coding scheme for different glue-solar data types (for example to distinguish the IRIS raster data cubes from its companion IRIS SJI data cubes
glue-solar PR #15 for adding to open with “SunPy Map” GUI option
glue-solar PR #17 for adding “Loading and Overplotting AIA and HMI files as SunPy Maps” docs as a user guide
glue-solar PR #18 for adding “loading IRIS level 2 raster and sji data together docs” as a user guide
glue-solar PR #23 for updating IRIS data labels with OBSIDs for filtering
glue-solar PR #28, PR #29 as core glue-solar documentation

I have actually been using our work on the glue 1D profile tool for my current doctoral studies on studies of planetary nebulae using integral field spectroscopy (IFS) involving the handling of a large number of data cubes from some Australian telescopes (data collected by my PhD supervisor Prof. Quentin Parker). Turned out this tool made the process of investigating the different spectra, which could run up to hundreds in number per data cube or observation, as it allows me to load in my data cube only once, and then to inspect the variation across spatial dimensions to see if the signal-to-noise of a particular observation is too high, or if the opposite is true so that the spectra will then be further processed into full-optical integrated spectra with flux calibration or de-reddening as necessary.

I am grateful for Google, my mentors, other org members as well as my GSoC peers to make this a particular fun-filled and memorable project! I have learned so much from the experience that even money cannot buy in terms of programming and soft skills. I wish Google will continue this program or initiate some similar program to continue cultivating new generations of open-source software developers / development enthusiasts to further our aim to make open-source approachable and usable for all.

Final GSoC Report

Labib Asari — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 15:24:38 GMT

Introduction

In the study of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), accurately interpolating light curve data is crucial for overcoming the challenge of observational gaps. This post elaborates on the implementation of both basic and advanced interpolation methods to enhance data continuity in AGN light curves.

Maximizing Coverage Across AGN Light Curves

An essential step in our analysis of AGN light curves was to establish a benchmark for maximum coverage in each observational band. This process involves determining the most comprehensive temporal span for which we have data, ensuring that our interpolation methods are aligned with these time frames.

Enhancing SOAR Queries: Improved Error Handling and Support for Distance-Based Filtering

Manit Singh — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 12:01:00 GMT

Improved Error Handling and Support for Distance-Based Filtering

Introduction

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on addressing and enhancing certain functionalities within the sunpy-soar package. This post delves into the two main improvements I’ve implemented: better error handling for server downtime and the introduction of support for distance-based query filtering.

Improved Error Handling for Server Downtime

Previously, when the SOAR server was down, a generic JSONDecodeError would be raised. This was less than ideal as it did not provide a clear indication of what the actual issue was. To improve this, I worked on implementing a more descriptive error message that would be raised in such scenarios.

r = requests.get(f"{tap_endpoint}/sync", params=payload)
try:
    response_json = r.json()
except JSONDecodeError:
    msg = "Server returned an invalid JSON response. The SOAR server may be down or not functioning correctly."
    raise RuntimeError(msg)

With this change, users will now see a RuntimeError with a clear message indicating that the server may be down or not functioning correctly, which makes troubleshooting much easier.

Hey everyone,

It is the end of the coding period of GSoC”22. This is going to be my last blog about my project.

After successfully implementing the bexvar method in Stingray (this PR). I and my mentors decided that we can now work to add bexvar as a method to Stingra’s Lightcurve class. This was not a part of my original proposal. The bexvar() method takes lightcurve data in input parameters, so it made sense to provide this facility to users. Stingray’s Lightcurve class facilitates users to create Lightcurve objects and perform several operations useful for time series analysis on them.

Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last blog, and for a good reason. The past few weeks have been quite productive, and I thought it might be a good idea to present one final report of the work that I did over this past month instead of breaking it into subparts. With this blog, I will also be marking the end of my journey through the Google Summer of Code program. This blog will talk about some of the changes that the work I did as a part of GSoC brought to RADIS, and how you, the user can and will benefit from it.

In my last blog, I briefly mentioned what I was planning to do with the GPU code and how to integrate it with RADIS. The current RADIS code performs calculation of spectra at thermal equilibrium (and even in non-equilibrium conditions) in primarily two ways:

GSoC Week 11-13

pupper emeritus — Sun, 13 May 2018 13:06:00 GMT

Topic: Implement JAX based automatic differentiation to Stingray

The project involved the study of modern statistical modelling to augment the accuracy, speed, and robustness of the likelihood function, into a software package called Stingray. This report demonstrates the experiment done for a combination of different optimizers to fit the scipy.optimize function. Another emphasis is to investigate the gradient calculation using JAX and compare it with scipy.optimize.

Introduction:

The proposed milestone was to investigate the room for improvement to enhance the overall performance of modelling to Stingray, using JAX. However, the current stage of the model is still a sandbox model. Stingray is astrophysical spectral timing software, a library in python built to perform time series analysis and related tasks on astronomical light curves. JAX is a python library designed for high-performance numerical computing. Its API for numerical functions is based on NumPy, a collection of functions used in scientific computing. Both Python and NumPy are widely used and familiar, making JAX simple, flexible, and easy to adopt. It can differentiate through a large subset of python’s features, including loops, ifs, recursion, and closures, and it can even take derivatives of derivatives. Such modern differentiation packages deploy a broad range of computational techniques to improve applicability, run time, and memory management.

JAX utilizes the grad function transformation to convert a function into a function that returns the original function’s gradient, just like Autograd. Beyond that, JAX offers a function transformation jit for just-in-time compilation of existing functions and vmap and pmap for vectorization and parallelization, respectively.

Chapter 4: Weeks 5 and 6 I had scratched my head in every way possible. However, I was no closer to actually debugging the error, which perplexed me. I searched every relevant function, every relevant block of code, understood how each and every parameter was being calculated, and made a mental map of how functions were being accessed and in which order. I was still stuck. And so, I decided to just scrap my current implementation, and started over. +Universe OpenAstronomy (Posts by sagarchotalia)http://openastronomy.org/Universe_OA/

Making headway.

sagarchotalia — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 12:21:34 GMT

In week 3, I began testing my implementation of the chunksize feature. I found that there was an error being raised in the plotting of graphs, due to a library called publib being used. Upon searching for this library, I was amazed to see that it was built by Dr. Erwan! You can have a look at it here I initially thought nothing of the error, and was convinced that my implementation was correct.

Officially Started. Unofficially...not so much.

The past 3 months have been really amazing. I’ve learned a lot about working on a collaborative project and working with deadlines.

In the past two weeks, I polished off the work done for the project in the PR, so that it is ready to merge. There were a few merge conflicts that needed to be addressed.

Then, I worked on a generate_runlist file to make runlists for converting MAGIC ROOT data to HDF5 data. In a few days, training will start on the approximately 5000 MAGIC data runs using CTLearn’s models.

Also, Various spectroscopic quantities as absorbance , emissitivity is also compared for the both the dataframams. Also, there was many issues that was raised by the maintainers and I have resolved almost all of these , and commented on the other issues to discuss the problem and discuss some possible solution .Issues raised by the maintainers was mainly related to make changes more matainable and easy to understand and simple programming logic is preferred inplace of using some complex code without explaining that in detail.

astropy@GSoC Blog Post #6, Week 8&9

Suyog Garg — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 07:48:00 GMT

Heads-up about the Progress of #11897

In summary the situation of the concerned PR a few days back was 4 types of CI test errors, one bug and possibly a need for modification of part of the code copied from pycdsreadme. All these have been taken care of as detailed below, but for the numpy depreciation warnings that keep coming up. I don't think we can do anything about the latter's persistence as of now. I shall comment more about it on GitHub as well.

File not found error: Moritz's HW, i.e. using get_pkg_data_filename import, directly took care of this.
Error in coord col decimal places: The precision of the coordinate component columns was getting set arbitrarily, which created difference in the output for 32-bit and 62-bit machines, and possibly between different operating systems. This has been corrected by having a fixed number of 12 digits after decimal for RAs, DEs and the latitude/longitude columns of Galactic and Ecliptic coords. This error also relates with the Formats bug.
SphericalRepresentation col error: Now, this was a bit major issue compared to the two above, although the solution was only 2 line changes. When the coords cols were checked for and divided into components, the original SkyCoord col was deleted right within the loop. This made the iteration index of the loop to point to i+2 column after deletion, where i is the index of the original SkyCoord col. That is, effectively skipping the immediate next column after the SkyCoord col, as it would have receded by one place in the list. Got this fixed by popping the original SkyCoord col after all the columns in the table have been iterated over. This way all object type columns are converted to Column objects with str values.
~table.tests and test_write failures: All these errors were warnings due to depreciation of numpy specific aliases for different Python types. Most previous tests in Astropy appear to use these now depreciated numpy types, which raises warnings during testing our code. I have been able to provide remedy for majority of these by additionally using np.issubdtype(col.dtype, np.integer) while checking if the columns has integer values, however, tests with oldest supported version of all dependencies still fails. See my GitHub comment for more info.

The formats bug

This was another major problem we had stumbled upon. It took me a while to skim through various docs and codes to find the optimum fix for this.

Our initial insight was that the difference between the Byte-By-Byte description and the data part of the written table, when the formats argument is passed to the write function, related in some manner to the string formatting part of the code. By first look itself, it was evident that there isn't any provision in the writer for cases when the columns already contain a format attribute, which is what is assigned when formats is passed, as I had written here back then. Creating allowance for this was easy enough, right away correcting the test outputs. Now, both the Byte-By-Byte and the table data had the number of decimal digits, or whatever other format for that matter, we wanted them to have. Apart from the internally created coordinate component columns, for which the number of digits after decimal was fixed.

It is when we want to go a step further than this and wanna truncate or eradicate the string formatting part to obtain the column format, that we stumble upon a road block. There are two concerns,

If no formats argument is passed, col.format will be set to None.
Even if we already know the column format, say .5f, we still need to evaluate the maximum size of the value strings of the column in most cases, and do some formatting to have the format in CDS/MRT recommendation, Fx.5.

The column formats passed in the formats argument are set by using the in-build Python function format (https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#format). For cases when no formats argument is passed, the default behavior when writing the table data, for instance in the FixedWidth writer is to set the column format to '' which is equivalent to saying val = str(val). (https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/table/construct_table.html#table-format-string) FixedWidth uses the maximum length of these strings to get the column widths. So, there the string formatting part of the code is essential if we want to know the correct format for columns without string values.

However, there may be another solution to this that can be tried in the long-term. I was curious to know what other writers in Astropy did in such situations when the column format needs to be given explicitly in the header of the written table. There aren't extravagantly many such use cases, but the FITS standard tables do have format keywords in the header as serve the purpose well. So, looking over the Astropy FITS writer, I found the way in which it deals with the problem of assigning column formats is by separately defining all the formats that can be and then using a custom Column class which has some default format attributes. (See:
https://github.com/astropy/astropy/blob/main/astropy/io/fits/column.py). ASCII writers also have a custom Column class, but the attributes that it currently has are exceedingly lacking to be of any use to us now. (https://github.com/astropy/astropy/blob/79323de928e87827526ed8fce04986a5dd459794/astropy/io/ascii/core.py#L270) In the long-run, we could take motivation from the FITS writer and make changes herein.

Other updates

I have began to work on the other two branches for Time cols and MRT metadata resp and would have them done in some time.

On an unrelated note, I found that the test_cds_header_from_readme.py test file in astropy.io.ascii.tests contains some CDS reading tests. It was recently modified by the 11593 PR (https://github.com/astropy/astropy/pull/11593/files). I imagine that these tests can be incorporated within test_cds.py and then we won't perhaps have to move CDS/MRT tests to any other test file?

I have successfully been able to show the kernel logs in realtime into the Jupyter front end.
So basically I configured the Jupyter kernel to dump the logs in real-time in a log file.
Then I created a new function that runs in a separate thread and pulls the content of the log file every 2 seconds.

Suyog Garg — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 07:48:00 GMT

Heads-up about the Progress of #11897

File not found error: Moritz's HW, i.e. using get_pkg_data_filename import, directly took care of this.
Error in coord col decimal places: The precision of the coordinate component columns was getting set arbitrarily, which created difference in the output for 32-bit and 62-bit machines, and possibly between different operating systems. This has been corrected by having a fixed number of 12 digits after decimal for RAs, DEs and the latitude/longitude columns of Galactic and Ecliptic coords. This error also relates with the Formats bug.
SphericalRepresentation col error: Now, this was a bit major issue compared to the two above, although the solution was only 2 line changes. When the coords cols were checked for and divided into components, the original SkyCoord col was deleted right within the loop. This made the iteration index of the loop to point to i+2 column after deletion, where i is the index of the original SkyCoord col. That is, effectively skipping the immediate next column after the SkyCoord col, as it would have receded by one place in the list. Got this fixed by popping the original SkyCoord col after all the columns in the table have been iterated over. This way all object type columns are converted to Column objects with str values.
~table.tests and test_write failures: All these errors were warnings due to depreciation of numpy specific aliases for different Python types. Most previous tests in Astropy appear to use these now depreciated numpy types, which raises warnings during testing our code. I have been able to provide remedy for majority of these by additionally using np.issubdtype(col.dtype, np.integer) while checking if the columns has integer values, however, tests with oldest supported version of all dependencies still fails. See my GitHub comment for more info.

The formats bug

This was another major problem we had stumbled upon. It took me a while to skim through various docs and codes to find the optimum fix for this.

It is when we want to go a step further than this and wanna truncate or eradicate the string formatting part to obtain the column format, that we stumble upon a road block. There are two concerns,

If no formats argument is passed, col.format will be set to None.
Even if we already know the column format, say .5f, we still need to evaluate the maximum size of the value strings of the column in most cases, and do some formatting to have the format in CDS/MRT recommendation, Fx.5.

I have began to work on the other two branches for Time cols and MRT metadata resp and would have them done in some time.

New features after GSOC19

Jorge Martínez Garrido — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 15:05:00 GMT

Contributing to Poliastro has been an incredible experience for me. Since it was the first time, I've participated in GSOC. And the first time I've ever approached to package dedicated to problems arising in Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics. Being part of Poliastro was an exciting challenge that I had to surmount and also an unbelievable opportunity to learn about Space, Math and Physics.

With the thorough knowledge learned, and the feedback from JuanLu and Jorge, I was able to overcome every challenge in my Poliastro's journey. As I had said when I had the opportunity, I am grateful to both of my mentors who accepted me to be part of this exceptional community. :)

Taking on the Gaps: First Approaches of the Temporal Interpolation

Lucas Martin Garcia — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 15:05:00 GMT

Hey Sid! What’s the progress? What did you do in last 2 weeks?

The work was completed on time! I spent the last two weeks coding up the saving versions of ccds, arrays and filenames. With these, one can apply a function on the desired object (i.e. ccd or array or filename) and can also save it to FITS file. There are various options available for saving, like the prefix name of the saved file, suffix name of saved file and also the location at which to save, check out the repo for more info!

Issue resolved

Kartik Mandar — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 17:09:00 GMT

The problem with classes was resolved by making factory functions to encase them in, and then they were not conflicting with each other.

New issue propped up

Kartik Mandar — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 15:34:00 GMT

When changing the whole architecture, a new issue has propped. An initialised object of the class can not be initialised again. So I am not able to revert back the home UI back dynamically.

Finally the issue resolves

Changing the plotting methods

Kartik Mandar — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 15:05:00 GMT

So the recoding and redesign is done. But we were discussing about how we are plotting things in dashboard and wanted to have floatpanels for doing so.
