Stars, catalogs, assessment

dotnetastronomysimulationnovolis

Prerequisites

  • .NET 10 SDK
  • GitHub Packages credentials for Novolis.* restores when consuming published packages

Local build

dotnet build Novolis.Astro.slnx -c Release
dotnet test Novolis.Astro.slnx -c Release

Refresh catalog packs after editing data/*.json:

dotnet run -c Release --file tools/pregen-catalog.cs

Minimal route (pregenerated pack)

using Novolis.Astro.Catalog.Data;
using Novolis.Astro.Routing;

var catalog = CatalogPacks.ToCatalog(CatalogPacks.NearSol100);
var graph = RouteGraph.Build(catalog.All, 12, RangeBandCostModel.CreatePrototypeCompatible());
var route = RoutePlanner.Find("sol", "proxima-centauri", graph);

Habitability / Goldilocks zone

using Novolis.Astro.Abstractions;
using Novolis.Astro.Assessment;
using Novolis.Astro.Catalog;

var sol = new StarSystem("sol", "Sol", new StarCoords(0, 0, 0), SpectralClass.G,
    spectralDesignation: "G2V", luminositySolar: 1.0, effectiveTemperatureK: 5780);
var zone = sol.EstimateHabitableZone();           // ~0.97–1.67 AU conservative
var rating = sol.AssessHabitability();            // Prime for Sol-like hosts
