GENSPECT: a line-by-line code with selectable interpolation error tolerance

TL;DR: In this paper, a line-by-line radiative transfer code is proposed that computes absorption coefficients to a specified percentage error tolerance in a near minimal number of calculations using a pre-computed lookup table that predicts where it is appropriate to reduce the resolution of a particular line without exceeding the required error tolerance.

Efficient algorithmic implementation of the Voigt/complex error function based on exponential series approximation

TL;DR: It is shown that a Fourier expansion of the exponential multiplier yields an exponential series that can compute high-accuracy values of the complex error function in a rapid algorithm that is efficient and practically convenient in numerical methods related to the spectral line broadening and other applications requiring errorfunction evaluation over extended input arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determining star-image location: A new sub-pixel interpolation technique to process image centroids

TL;DR: The approach enables the rapid development of autonomous star-camera systems without the extensive characterizations required to derive polynomic fitting coefficients employed by traditional centroid algorithms.
