New:

  • Added SBGATObsLightcurve to SbgatCore , a module enabling the generation of instantaneous-exposure lightcurves in a fixed-spin scenario. This module assumes constant small-body spin and phase angle between the sun, the small body and the observer.
  • SBGATObsRadar now throws an instance of std::runtime_error if the specified bin sizes are incompatible with the collected data that may yield an empty histogram dimension
  • Observations from SBGATObsRadar and SBGATObsLightcurve can be penalized by incidence so as to diminish the weight of a given measurement. SBGATObsRadar weighs by the cos of the angle between the observer and the surface normal, while SBGATObsLightcurve weighs by the product of the cos of the angle between the observer and the surface normal and the cos of the angle between the sun and the surface normal

Improvements

  • Simulated Range/Range-rate images and lightcurves rely on area-weighted surface sampling : N * surface_area/max_surface_area points are sampled for each facet, where max_surface_area is the surface area of the largest facet in the shape and surface_area that of the considered facet
  • Removed more deprecated functionalities

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed bug in SbgatGui that was allowing users to bin radar observations before effectively collecting them.
  • Saved radar images now have correct color levels
