Zusammenfassung: | SiRGraF Integrated Tool for Coronal dynaMics (SITCoM) is based on Simple
Radial Gradient Filter (SiRGraF) used to filter the radial gradient in the
white-light coronagraph images and bring out dynamic structures. SITCoM has
been developed in Python and integrated with SunPy and can be installed by
users with the command pip install sitcom. This enables the user to pass the
white-light coronagraph data to the tool and generate radially filtered output
with an option to save in various formats as required. We have implemented the
functionality of tracking the transients such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs),
outflows, plasma blobs, etc., using height-time plots and deriving their
kinematics. In addition, SITCoM also supports oscillation and waves studies
such as for streamer waves. This is done by creating a distance-time plot at a
user-defined location (artificial slice) and fitting a sinusoidal function to
derive the properties of waves, such as time period, amplitude, and damping
time (if any). We provide the provision to manually or automatically select the
data points to be used for fitting. SITCoM is a tool to analyze some properties
of coronal dynamics quickly. We present an overview of the SITCoM with the
applications for deriving coronal dynamics' kinematics and oscillation
properties. We discuss the limitations of this tool along with prospects for
future improvement. |
