Manon Marchand enhanced spatial matching and coordinate system interoperability in the astropy/astropy repository over two months, focusing on both feature development and code robustness. She implemented support for non-scalar, per-coordinate separation limits in matching functions, improving flexibility for cross-matching workflows. Her work included strict input validation and error handling using Python, ensuring reliability in spatial queries. Manon also integrated VOTable COOSYS conversion to Astropy frames and overhauled related documentation, aligning it with VOTable 1.5 standards. Through technical writing, code maintenance, and comprehensive testing, she delivered well-structured solutions that improved both developer experience and scientific data compatibility.
April 2025 focused on interoperability improvements, input validation, and documentation refreshes in astropy/astropy. Implemented COOSYS integration converting VOTable coordinate systems to Astropy frames, refined 1D coordinate validation for spatial queries, and reorganized VOTable docs with MIVOT alignment to align with VOTable 1.5. These changes enhance cross-project compatibility, API clarity, and developer/docs quality.

February 2025 focused on enhancing coordinate matching capabilities in astropy/astropy, improving robustness of validation, and correcting external-domain references. Delivered feature enhancements for non-scalar separations in coordinate matching, strengthened validation logic with strict-length handling, and corrected Vizier FTP domain usage in docs and samples. These changes improve accuracy, reliability, and developer experience for cross-matching workflows.
