In a previous semester ADACS conducted a code audit for the Fireballs in the sky app (see here). This audit resulted in a detailed plan for all the work needed to reimplement the app, and to incorporate new features. In short, the goals for this semester were to use React Native to create a 3d planetarium viewer that would allow users to trace the trajectory of a meteor, indicate the brightness and colour, and make notes about fragmentation and sounds.
New features for this app include:
This project ran over two semesters (2024B and 2025A).

ADACS collaborated with researchers in Social Network Analysis to improve the performance of their simulation code. This allowed them to tackle research problems that were previously computationally intractable.
A web app to allow astronomers to quickly and easily classify transient candidates, with links to external data sources, and the ability to download subsets of data for local exploration.
A software audit for the Fireballs in the Sky app to understand what work is needed to update or remake the app so that it can again be published in the app stores.
