#adass2022 — Public Fediverse posts

@gijsnelemans I recognised that and made a corresponding comment in the #ADASS2022 proceedings article

Signed out of #ADASS2022, though may briefly tune in for the closing. It has been an incredible meeting with lots of cool, exciting tools and techniques in #astronomy and #software shown off. I'm inspired to revisit some of my work and apply them!
Sorry for a lot of the image spam, many without alt'text, but the slides were rich with information and were going fast.

Very slick set of interfaces and tools being presented as part of ALeRCE, in use by ZTF and planned as a community broker for LSST. https://alerce.science/ #ADASS2022

For those who have missed my talk "The carbon footprint of astronomical observatories" at #ADASS2022, you can now watch the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is9ZEmVSrAA

Always exciting to see Aladin in action! V3 is looking great. #ADASS2022

The Firefly interface! Used at several different places and part of Rubin's platform. I really like how connected it is to VO standards. #ADASS2022

Managing big data with ESAC Science Data Centre (ESDC). Databases! And super relevant to a meeting we just had at work less than an hour ago 🤣 #ADASS2022

The prize talk for #ADASS2022 is for astropy, an incredible piece of python software for #astronomy work but also a community with nearly 500 independent contributors and a workflow that encourages more. #Astrodon

From Erik Tollerud on that other site: I'm honored and excited to be giving the #Adass2022 Software Prize talk in ~45 min on behalf of The Astropy Project! If you're (virtually) attending #ADASS, come check it out!

(now just in a couple of min...)

Very cool to see some of the early development of SIMBAD. I've used that so much in my own work! #ADASS2022

Well, this is convenient. When I had done my queries against SsODNet I wrote manual calls against the API and parsed the JSON response, but now I know there is a python and command-line API to make it much easier to work with. #ADASS2022

Final day of #ADASS2022! Starting off with a session on the Solar system Open Database Network: https://ssp.imcce.fr/webservices/
I actually ran across this a few months ago and started using it to fetch alternate asteroid designations 😉

Oops, my bad, I just saw a bunch of tooting about it! #adass2022

It seems nobody is talking about #adass2022, although it is quite an interesting edition…

@[email protected], maintainer of the ASCL.net is doing a great job of collecting the best from it… https://twitter.com/hashtag/ADASS2022?f=live

@VirStrakul Just want to say thanks for posting from #ADASS2022, it's really helpful to have a glimpse!

ESA showing off their eJWST science data interface. Really slick way to access #JWST data with all of the tools provided by ESASky, but also access with TAP/ADQL. They're also generating HiPS and MOCs for the data, which are super useful. #ADASS2022

Healpix and MOCs with Rust! Still trying to wrap my head around how best we can use MOCs but always exciting to see them in practice. #ADASS2022

F-X Pineau presenting the Rust programming language. I've also been hearing about this one for a while now so it was informative to see it presented this way. I want to find the time to learn more and try it out 😉 #ADASS2022

Great talk by Brent Miszalski on sustainability for #astronomy archives across many different aspects. #ADASS2022 #Astrodon

Oh, moving target/solar system work! Nate Tellis presented work to do precovery for asteroids in NSC data. The healpix indexing strategy was key at making this fast. I really want us to build such an index for MAST data. #ADASS2022 #Astrodon #Astronomy

Very interesting talk by Deepashri Thatte at #ADASS2022 about #JWST NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry observations of Jupiter's moon Io to look for volcanoes. Such a cool technology experiment... and also space volcanoes 😜

I was not super really familiar about Jupyter Book before. They sound really cool: https://jupyterbook.org and are actually used part of MAST's Hello Universe documentation at https://spacetelescope.github.io/hellouniverse
From Brigitta Sipőcz talk at #ADASS2022 on astroML #Astrodon

Here is a graphical summary of the per-employee annual carbon footprint of astronomy & astrophysics that was assessed by four different studies of communities and labs around the globe (I showed this figure today during a presentation at the #ADASS2022 Conference).

What?! ESASky is getting a virtual assistant called EVA? That sounds super cool! (I want one too 😜) #ADASS2022 #Astronomy #Astrodon

Early morning talk at #ADASS2022 about astronomy's carbon footprint. Operating telescopes and super computers consume power and the electricity grid can be a factor in the overall carbon footprint. Lots to think about. #Astronomy #astrodon #ClimateChange

Julia is interesting, but overwhelming. Looks like a compiled version of python but for someone not used to it (like me) it sounds like a lot of extra work.
A few astro packages are listed in https://juliapackages.com/c/space-science, including things like SPICE #ADASS2022

Last session of #ADASS2022 for the day is a tutorial on the Julia programming language. I've heard about this before so I'm curious to see it in action! Already downloaded it and the "Pluto" notebook package 🙂

Big database time! Fritz Mueller going over Qserv, the petabyte database solution chosen for the #LSST catalogs that will be produced by #Rubin. #ADASS2022 #Astronomy

The #Rubin observatory is such a massive, impressive project. Over a million lines of code with modern, cloud-native standards and also integrated to the Virtual Observatory, which is frequently ignored or overlooked. #ADASS2022 #Astronomy

Been a bit offline re #ADASS2022 today but this afternoon I am back for some interesting things. First up being an overview of Rubin's software architecture #Astronomy #LSST
