New features on ArasBeam !
Sunday 4 October 2009 by Francois Cochard
ArasBeam restarts with some new features :
You can select only Ha spectra (or any wavelegnth) in all pages. We
can then better focus on Ha observations : the color coding of the stars
to be observed is now dedicated to Ha spectra. Of course, you can
observe the stars at the wavelength you want, but only Ha observations
will pass the color to green.
We can now activate the multi-author article writing : Main observers
(if they are volonteers :>) will have an access to write their own
article. This will be key to make ArasBeam much more active ! Do not
hesitate to come to us (Valerie and I) if you’re interesetd.
Your selection criteria (magnitude max, wavelength...) is kept in
memory when you browse within the website,
The page that allow to select spectra of a specific star is now
translated in english,
I’ve put a direct access button to the Be Atlas on welcome page (you
cannot miss it :>).
This is not visible, but I’ve setup a stronger process for a regular
backup.
Do not hesitate to give your comments. But the most important is that you observe Be stars - Ha in priority - to complete the BeSS coverage ! By the way... there is 7636 amateur spectra in BeSS - including 2120 in Ha ! This is a wonderful achievement - that confirm Amateur’s Power when we join our efforts !
Friendly,
