Add Solar System functionality and features to the TOM Toolkit

[jchate6]

The current accommodations for Solar System Science within the TOM Toolkit are somewhat limited. There are many small pieces of functionality that could enhance the user experience of someone trying to use the TOM toolkit to observe moving objects.

Observation planning tools

• • [ ] fractional ephemeris rate planning
• • [ ] ephemerides calculator
• • [ ] current RA/Dec
• • [ ] current rate of motion
• • [ ] current mag
• • [ ] location relative to Galactic plane
• • [ ] distance/mag with time
• • [ ] on sky uncertainty with time
• • [ ] Time of closest Approach
• • [ ] trailing estimator
• • [ ] estimation for when target will leave the chip if not tracking at full non-sidereal rate
• • [ ] orbital diagram with relative earth/target locations of photometry
• • [ ] MPC Facility Codes

    Target info

  • • [ ] H magnitude
  • • [ ] Physical Parameter ingest
  • • [ ] Taxonomic ingest
  • • [ ] Spectra ingest
  • • [ ] Orbital Type
  • • [ ] Orbit certainty
  • • [ ] Update orbital elements
  • • [ ] Target merging (when 2 candidates found to be the same, etc)

      Data Analysis Tools (Too tied to science case?)

  • • [ ] thumbnail movies
  • • [ ] add predicted mag to photometry plot
  • • [ ] interactive phase plot
  • • [ ] Shape Modeling
  • • [ ] Spectroscopic classification tool
  • • [ ] Color plotting
  • • [ ] Automated MPC reporting

This would probably be a separate Solar System Module installed if nonsidereal support was chose during setup.

Could possibly use sbpy
