OT 060420: A Seemingly Optical Transient Recorded by All-Sky Cameras
Lior Shamir, Robert J. Nemiroff
We report on a ~5th magnitude flash detected for approximately 10 minutes by two CONCAM all-sky cameras located in Cerro Pachon - Chile and La Palma - Spain. A third all-sky camera…
Software design for panoramic astronomical pipeline processing
Lior Shamir, Robert J. Nemiroff, David O. Torrey +1
We describe the software requirement and design specifications for all-sky panoramic astronomical pipelines. The described software aims to meet the specific needs of super-wide an…
Using Fuzzy Logic for Automatic Analysis of Astronomical Pipelines
Lior Shamir, Robert J. Nemiroff
Fundamental astronomical questions on the composition of the universe, the abundance of Earth-like planets, and the cause of the brightest explosions in the universe are being atta…
All-sky Relative Opacity Mapping Using Night Time Panoramic Images
Lior Shamir, Roberj J. Nemiroff
An all-sky cloud monitoring system that generates relative opacity maps over many of the world's premier astronomical observatories is described. Photometric measurements of numero…
A Fuzzy Logic Based Algorithm for Finding Astronomical Objects in Wide-Angle Frames
Lior Shamir, Robert J. Nemiroff
Accurate automatic identification of astronomical objects in an imperfect world of non-linear wide-angle optics, imperfect optics, inaccurately pointed telescopes, and defect-ridde…
PHOTZIP: A Lossy FITS Image Compression Algorithm that Protects User-Defined Levels of Photometric Integrity
Lior Shamir, Robert J. Nemiroff
A lossy compression algorithm is presented for astronomical images that protects photometric integrity for detected point sources at a user-defined level of statistical tolerance.…
