We're releasing AstroCoder in beta as both a public resource and a community experiment. We particularly need feedback on AI-generated code, your insights are valuable for improving AI’s understanding of astronomy tools. We hope you find AstroCoder as a useful resource!

AstroCoder includes a chatbot with a search assistant and a coding agent that autonomously investigates 5-10 relevant code files before answering your queries.

AstroCoder tackles two problems: 1. Making niche astronomy software more easily discoverable and usable 2. Letting the astronomy community evaluate if current AI can properly use the tools astronomers rely on

AI's rapidly improving coding capabilities hint at automated research assistants arriving in the near-future. To prepare, we built AstroCoder: an AI-based tool for discovering & using niche astronomy software from 2,270 repos. nolank.ca/astrocoder

My first first author paper published two weeks ago: We find that red giants with different pulsation periods have different Tip of the Red Giant Branch magnitudes in both the SMC and LMC. arxiv.org/abs/2406.19375

Calibrating and standardizing the Tip of the Red Giant Branch in the Small Magellanic Cloud using small-amplitude red giants

We investigate the absolute calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using small amplitude red giant stars (SARGs) classified by the Optical Gravitatio...

Some using foundation models, some using LLMs, all hopefully useful for Astro research.

Been thinking a lot about potential positive applications of AI in astronomy, and data exploration is an area with a lot of potential applications. great to see some clever astronomers have been diving into this already 🔭
