چکیده
This paper discusses statistical, data analytic and related software that is useful in the realm of astronomy and spaces sciences. The paper does not seek to be comprehensive, but rather to present a cross section of software used by practicing statisticians. The general layout is rst to discuss commercially available software, then academic research software and nally some possible future directions in the evolution of data-oriented software. We speciically exclude commercial database software from the discussion, although it is relevant. The paper focuses on providing internet (world wide web) pointers for a variety of the software discussed.

The Effect of Solar Particles in the Choice of Alloy Shielding in a Satellite
The damages and logical failures in dierent parts of a satellite may occur during a solar event, when a bulk of solar energetic particles approaching the Earth. During solar events, these particles may cause extensive damages which are even permanent (hard errors). A way of damage reduction is designing a proper coating as the fuselage. As protons are the major component of solar particles and ...
متن کاملPrinciples of High-Dimensional Data Visualization in Astronomy
Astronomical researchers often think of analysis and visualization as separate tasks. In the case of high-dimensional data sets, though, interactive exploratory data visualization can give far more insight than an approach where data processing and statistical analysis are followed, rather than accompanied, by visualization. This paper attempts to charts a course toward “linked view” systems, w...

متن کاملEvolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.
متن کاملAccelerating a Software Radio Astronomy Correlator using FPGA co-processors
Introduction This poster presents and characterises our work on accelerating a software radio astronomy correlator using reconfigurable computing (RC) hardware. Radio astronomy correlation is an embarrassingly parallel signal processing application, which is used heavily in radio astronomy for imaging and other astronomical measurements. Radio astronomy correlators typically operate on huge dat...
