Over four months, contributed to the astro-datalab/notebooks-latest repository by developing and enhancing Jupyter notebooks for astronomical data analysis and visualization. Delivered features such as the Cosmic Slime Notebook for Coma Cluster research, comprehensive DESI DR1 data exploration tools, and a Stellar Spectra Stacking workflow for SDSS, each emphasizing reproducibility and onboarding efficiency. The work involved Python, SQL, and Matplotlib, with a focus on code organization, metadata management, and documentation improvements. Addressed peer review feedback, standardized project structure, and automated analysis workflows, resulting in user-facing tools that streamline research, support spectral analysis, and improve data discoverability across the project.
Month: 2026-04 — Notebooks-Latest (astro-datalab/notebooks-latest) delivered a cohesive Stellar Spectra Stacking notebook workflow for SDSS. The work consolidates data retrieval, visualization, spectral-type counting, and analysis automation into a user-facing feature, with renaming and renumbering clarified for clarity and reuse. nbid.csv and dataset references were updated to reflect the new naming, and galaxies were incorporated to broaden applicability for star- and galaxy-stack analyses. The effort includes comprehensive cleanup and standardization of notebook naming, removal of duplicate copies, and alignment of notebook references across the project.
