SPOCK (Speculoos Observatory SChedule maKer) is a python package developed to handle the planification of observation of the SPECULOOS telescopes. The project SPECULOOS -Search for habitable Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars – searches for potentially habitable exoplanets around the smallest and coolest stars of the solar neighborhood Link to site.
SPOCK allows you to schedule SPECULOOS core program targets on several criteria:
- Visibility of the target
- Priority (calculated from stellar parameters)
- Number of hours already performed
- Coordination between different site
as well as external program targets (planetary candidates, eclipsing binaries, complex rotators, etc)
You will find complete documentation (in dev) for setting up your project at SPOCK Read the Docs site.
