Documentation

This module contains several XML files describing optical interferometers & their instruments, mainly VLTI & CHARA.

See ASPRO2 configuration description

These XML files are based on few XML schemas (xsd) to validate their syntax and internal references:

• AsproOIModel.xsd: the ASPRO2 data model for the interferometer description and observation settings (asprox)
• AsproRawObsModel.xsd: the ASPRO2 data model for raw observations (obsportal)
• targetModel.xsd: the data model for geometric / analytical models (shared between ASPRO2 and LITpro)

These xml schemas are documented (thanks to xsddoc) with HTML pages at: ASPRO2 data model.

The XLST script AsproOIConfigurations.xsl let you generate HTML pages to better read the configuration file: see the Latest Aspro Configuration

All configuration files are in the src/main/resources/fr/jmmc/aspro/model folder:

• AsproOIConfigurations.xml: ASPRO2's inventory to list enabled configuration files (+ checksum to trust their content)
• optical interferometers
  • VLTI.xml: ESO VLTI interferometer Very Large Telescope Interferometer
  • CHARA.xml: CHARA interferometer Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy
  • NPOI.xml: NPOI interferometer
  • SUSI.xml: SUSI interferometer
  • DEMO.xml: DEMO interferometer (VLTI schools)
  • MROI.xml: (disabled) MROI (future)
• extra (single-dish): OHP.xml, PARANAL.xml, SUTHERLAND.xml

Finally aspro-conf contains 1 atmosphere transmission profile (ESO VLTI seasonal average at high resolution = 60,000) in the FITS file skytable_mean_atm.fits (3.7Mb).

Build

This JMMC module uses java / maven to build the jar file, to be integrated into ASPRO2 software.

Requirements:

• OpenJDK 8+
• Maven 3.6+
