Detailed Description

The Historical Supernovae plugin displays the positions some historical supernovae brighter than 10 visual magnitude.

Supernovae Catalog

The supernovae catalog is stored on the disk in JSON format, in a file named "supernovae.json". A default copy is embedded in the plug-in at compile time. A working copy is kept in the user data directory.

Configuration

The plug-ins' configuration data is stored in Stellarium's main configuration file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Supernova()

Supernova::Supernova ( const QVariantMap &  map)
Parameters
idThe official designation for a supernova, e.g. "SN 1054A"

Member Function Documentation

◆ getAngularSize()

virtual double Supernova::getAngularSize ( const StelCore core) const
virtual
Returns
radius in degree. This value is the apparent angular size of the object, and is independent of the current FOV.

Implements StelObject.

◆ getID()

virtual QString Supernova::getID ( void  ) const
inlinevirtual

The ID should be unique for all objects of the same type, but may freely conflict with IDs of other types, so getType() must also be tested.

With this it should be possible to at least identify the same object in a different instance of Stellarium running the same version, but it would even be better if the ID provides some degree of forward-compatibility. For some object types (e.g. planets) this may simply return getEnglishName(), but better candidates may be official designations or at least (stable) internal IDs.

An object may have multiple IDs (different catalog numbers, etc). StelObjectMgr::searchByID() should search through all ID variants, but this method only returns one of them.

Implements StelObject.

◆ getInfoMap()

virtual QVariantMap Supernova::getInfoMap ( const StelCore core) const
virtual
  • sntype
  • max-magnitude

virtual
Parameters
coreA pointer to the core a set of flags with information types to include.

◆ getMagnitudeInfoString()

virtual QString Supernova::getMagnitudeInfoString ( const StelCore core,
const InfoStringGroup &  flags,
const double  alt_app,
const int  decimals = 1 
) const

Parameters
core
