Aspro2 Version 22.03

  • Features:
    • Improved tooltips on the observability plot to display angular distances on science objects to calibrator and ancillary stars (AO, FT, GS)
    • Improved tooltips in Target Editor’s navigation trees to display angular distances on calibrator and ancillary stars (AO, FT, GS) to their science object
    • Added new CHARA fixed PoPs widgets to define PoPs associated to stations (’-’ means any Pop value [1-5])
    • Improved displayed CHARA Current & Fixed PoPs to use the station order given by the 6T configuration (MIRCX)
    • Added new CHARA PoPs actions ’set’ & ’clear’ respectively to set PoPs with the current best PoPs value and reset the fixed PoPs ([Auto] = any Pop value)
    • Improved CHARA PoPs field [Manual] to handle the wildcard digit ’8’ corresponding to any Pop value [1-5]
    • Improved chart titles to display the full CHARA configuration as ’SS(n)-...’ where ’SS’ indicates the station and ’n’ the Pop value associuated to the corresponding station; for example: ’CHARA 2022B - MIRCX-MYSTIC - E1(1)-W2(5)-W1(1)-S2(5)-S1(5)-E2(3)’
    • Updated CHARA MIRCX-MYSTIC instrument to provide new instrument modes (K band)
    • Improved loading observation files (asprox) to fix former instrument references (CHARA simplified instruments)
    • Added SAMP ’load.fits.image’ handler by opening the Target editor and associating the given model file to the current target (AMHRA)
    • Improved TargetEditor to handle SAMP interoperability (target merged with the editor state)
    • Added support for multiple calibrators in OB sent to the A2p2 tool
    • Enhance SAMP interoperability (VO table) : support analytical models
    • Improved the main setting panel to update the PoPs combo box plot for baseline limits and reset best PoPs if the configuration changes
    • Improved observability plot for baseline limits to support multiple configurations and report information and warning messages (CHARA PoPs)
    • Improved observability plot with large lists (increased bar width and disabled bar outline)
    • Enhanced best PoPs algorithm to display more combinations for comparison and for large lists, retain more solutions (with less targets)
    • Improved the observation log table to preserve table column order (preference) and select visible columns by clicking in the bottom right corner’s button
    • Enhanced VOTable handling to handle target description (ucd=meta.note) and improve NIGHT param reading (boolean or char datatype)
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed findInstrumentConfigurationStations() to avoid too much permutations (max=6 and check numberChannelsMin/Max)
    • Fixed UV plot’s boundary issue related to unobservable target (axis length = 0)
    • Fixed SAMP interoperability (VO table): disable XSLT secure processing
