kmhess/apersched: apersched v1.0.0

apersched v1.0.0 is the first stable release of the program used to generate WSRT schedule for Apertif timing and imaging surveys. The programs generate a schedule in the form of a csv file, and a png file for visualization of the observed fields.

Input

The user specifies the following to generate an observing schedule:

• name of file that contains list of possible fields to observe;
• (imaging) name of file that contains list of previously observed fields;
• start time of the observations, specified in UTC, for example 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS';
• output string which will be appended to the csv and png file names;
• schedule length in days;
• minimum allowed sun distance;
• (timing) minimum allowed declination for field selection.

Output

The program creates:

• a csv file formatted in the manner of an Apertif scheduling parameter file,
• a png file of the fields to be observed.
