Use of Docker for deployment and testing of astronomy software
D. Morris, S. Voutsinas, N. C. Hambly +1
We describe preliminary investigations of using Docker for the deployment and testing of astronomy software. Docker is a relatively new containerisation technology that is developi…
Theia: Faint objects in motion or the new astrometry frontier
The Theia Collaboration, Celine Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +96
In the context of the ESA M5 (medium mission) call we proposed a new satellite mission, Theia, based on relative astrometry and extreme precision to study the motion of very faint…
