Caglow Library: libcaglow 0.3 Release

Posted June 20, 2017 by User 1

A third snapshot of the Caglow library (libcaglow) has been made available. The Caglow library is a set of Ada 2012 routines for various astronomical computations.

Changes in this snapshot include:

• Added manager for data from the Minor Planet Center (MPC).
  
  
  
  • comet orbits
  
  
  • standard 80-char observations, including roving & satellite observations
  
  


• New package for nonlinear optimization.
  
  
  
  • implementation of downhill simplex (Nelder-Mead) algorithm
  
  
  • integrated with MPC data structures for orbit determination
  
  


• Translation matrices now only act on position vectors.


• Debian package updated to support multiarch.


• Julian Day type JDE renamed to JDT.

All files, including binaries for Debian 9 (stretch) are available on the downloads page. As with all previous snapshots, this release should be considered experimental as it has not been thoroughly tested and is unlikely to be backward-compatible with future releases.
