Some astronomers do write papers about software or algorithms they develop, which in essence makes them citable, and I wonder what makes someone decide whether or not to publish. Astronomical algorithms - calculation question Amateur Astronomy. Soon they were joined by a NASA astrophysicist who introduced them to an astronomer who'd developed algorithms to compare photographs of the night sky and determine what star patterns they had in common. As Jean Meeus states in Astronomical Algorithms: "A change of temperature from winter to summer can shift the times of sunrise and sunset by about 20 seconds in mid-northern and mid-southern latitudes. Annual conference that provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software, and software systems employed in the acquisition, reduction, analysis, and dissemination of astronomical data. With the help of algorithms designed to guide the Hubble telescope?s starscape surveys, conservation-minded coders have designed software that helps biologists identify whale sharks by their spots. Read more at “Tracking Whale Sharks With Astronomical Algorithms” or listen to an ESA original podcast on the beginning of this research. Another deduced conclusion from reading preprints listed in arxiv/astro-ph is that astronomers tend to confuse classification and clustering and to mix up methodologies. They have become computer scientists, developing algorithms to read through massive data and make sense of it by inventing algorithms specific to their task. About two dozen astronomers gathered September 8 - 10 in Grenoble for discussions about ALMA simulations, sharing experiences, ideas, and algorithms.
