Aspro2 version 24.03.1

  • Features:
    • Updated aspro configuration with VLTI Period 114

March 07, 2024


Aspro2 version 24.03

  • Features:
    • Only export SCIENCE OIFITS (not GRAVITY_FT) to make OIFits viewer plots more readable
    • Only display AO/FT target selectors in the UV Coverage panel when the science object has associated ancillary stars
    • Added AO/FT target selectors in the UV Coverage panel to select among available ancillary stars or the science object
    • Updated noise parameters for VLTI Adaptive Optics systems
    • Implemented the Strehl Isoplanetism error (VLTI AO only) taking into account the turburlence layer's height (h0), atmospheric conditions (ESO seeing & tau0 constraints) and distances between the AO target and interferometric targets (GRAVITY FT or SCI). This implementation is made in collaboration with Dr. Anthony Berdeu, LESIA, ObsPM, whose project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004719.
    • Implemented preliminary support for GPAO NGS (Natural Guide Star) coming on sky during Summer 2024
    • Rewritten detector saturation handling for both GRAVITY FT & GRAVITY instruments to use discrete DIT values
    • Fixed noise equations for GRAVITY_FT
    • Implemented GRAVITY's background noise & transmission model (FT & SCI detectors)
    • Implemented the GRAVITY FT bootstrapping for baselines (triangle method)
    • Implemented the visibility loss for off-axis fringe tracking (GRAVITY FT)
    • Improved warning messages with computed stats on SNR (FT, SCI)
    • Major rewriting of the OIFits generator to handle two simulated OIFITS (FT + SCI) for GRAVITY FT (compute SNR_FT & variance on OPD) used to determine the visibility loss on the science detector (GRAVITY or MATISSE) in collaboration with Dr. Taro Shimizu, MPE
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed lost text field edits in the Target Editor when changing selection (list or tree)

January 09, 2024


OImaging version 1.0.5

  • Bug fixes:
    • Avoid setting compression for PNG encoder (not supported on java 8)
