Welcome to the allskyr project. This project includes R functions and an accompanying Shiny app for determining the radiant of meteor showers detected by Rob Weryk's ASGARD software. In particular, this project looks at data collected by the [Saint John's University allsky camera] (http://www.users.csbsju.edu/~jcrumley/allsky/) allsky camera, maintained by Jim Crumley.
Running the GUI:
The easiest way to access the GUI alone is to run the following command within R:
runGitHub("allskyr", "Mcintalmo")
###GUI Options:
Shower Name: Name of the meteor shower you would like to see.
Default: Quadrantids
Year: Year of the meteor shower you would like to see.
Default: 2009
Remove Outliers: Check this if you would like to remove outlying events
from the plot. WANRING: Can take up to 30 seconds to generate a large
meteor shower.
Default: Unchecked
IQR: Strictness of outlier detection. Smaller numbers remove more events.
Default: 1.5
Number of Bins: Number of bins to be used for determining the shower
radiant.
Default: 25
Generate Plot: Generate the plot given the input provided.
###Known bugs:
###To do:
###New Class: Event - Holds information pulled from event files.
###Included Functions:
txt_rsync.sh - (BASH) Syncs SJU events to the current working directory.
