H.; de la Vegat, A.; Watkins, L. L.; Weaver, B. A.; Whitmore, J. B.; Woillez, J.; Zabalza, V. (2018-09)The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community. A key element of the Astropy Project is the core package astropy, which serves as the foundation for more specialized projects and packages. In this article, we provide an overview of the organization of the Astropy project and summarize key features in the core package, as of the recent major release, version 2.0. We then describe the project infrastructure designed to facilitate and support development for a broader ecosystem of interoperable packages. We conclude with a future outlook of planned new features and directions for the broader Astropy Project.
- Design and construction of a thyratron stroboscopeMcIntire, John A.; Whitmore, J. B. (Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute, 1934)The thyratron stroboscope was designed using a multi-circuit transformer, condensers, resistances, a thyratron tube, and a disk. Host of the material was personally constructed in the laboratory and the whole assembled according to Figure 1 and placed in a case. Tests were made with the instrument and although it displayed some flaws, results were generally satisfactory. The chief disadvantage found was lack of illumination from the tube. Some of the advantages are simplicity of operation, compactness, portability, absence of moving parts, and low cost.
