\chapter{Object Catalog Plugins}
Several plugins provide users with some more object classes.
\section{Bright Novae Plugin}
\label{sec:plugins:BrightNovae}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{NovaCygni1975wiki.jpg}
\caption{Nova Cygni 1975 (also known as \textbf{V1500 Cyg})}
\label{fig:NovaCygni1975}
\end{figure}
\noindent The Bright Novae plugin provides visualization of some
bright novae in the Milky Way galaxy.
If enabled (see section~\ref{sec:Plugins:EnablingPlugins}), bright
novae from the past will be presented in the sky at the correct
times. For example, set date and time to 30 August 1975, look at the constellation \emph{Cygnus} to see
\emph{Nova Cygni 1975}\footnote{\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V1500_Cygni}} (Fig.~\ref{fig:NovaCygni1975}).
\subsection{Section \big[Novae\big] in config.ini file}
%\label{sec:plugins:BrightNovae:configuration}
You can edit \file{config.ini} file by yourself for changes of the
settings for the Bright Novae plugin -- just make it carefully!
\noindent%
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{l|l|X}\toprule
\emph{ID} & \emph{Type} & \emph{Description}\\\midrule
last\_update & string & Date and time of last update\\%\midrule
update\_frequency\_days & int & Frequency of updates, in days\\%\midrule
updates\_enable & bool & Enable updates of bright novae catalog from Internet \\%\midrule
url & string & URL of bright novae catalog \\\bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
\subsection{Format of bright novae catalog}
\label{sec:plugins:BrightNovae:format}
To add a new nova, open a new line after line 5 and paste the following, note commas and brackets, they are important:
\begin{configfile}
"Nova designation":
{
"name": "name of nova",
"type": "type of nova",
"maxMagnitude": value of maximal visual magnitude,
"minMagnitude": value of minimal visual magnitude,
"peakJD": JD for maximal visual magnitude,
"m2": Time to decline by 2mag from maximum (in days),
"m3": Time to decline by 3mag from maximum (in days),
"m6": Time to decline by 6mag from maximum (in days),
"m9": Time to decline by 9mag from maximum (in days),
"distance": value of distance between nova and
Earth (in thousands of Light Years),
"RA": "Right ascension (J2000)",
"Dec": "Declination (J2000)"
},
\end{configfile}
\noindent For example, the record for \textbf{Nova Cygni 1975} (\textbf{V1500 Cyg}) looks like:
\begin{configfile}
"V1500 Cyg":
{
"name": "Nova Cygni 1975",
"type": "NA",
"maxMagnitude": 1.69,
"minMagnitude": 21,
"peakJD": 2442655,
"m2": 2,
"m3": 4,
"m6": 32,
"m9": 263
"distance": 6.36,
"RA": "21h11m36.6s",
"Dec": "48d09m02s"
},
\end{configfile}
\subsection{Light curves}
\label{sec:plugins:BrightNovae:lightcurves}
This plugin uses a very simple model for calculation of light curves for
novae stars. This model is based on time for decay by $N$
magnitudes from the maximum value, where $N$ is 2, 3, 6 and 9. If a
nova has no values for decay of magnitude then this plugin will use
generalized values for it.
\newpage
\section{Historical Supernovae Plugin}
\label{sec:plugins:HistoricalSupernovae}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{sn1604wiki.png}
\caption{Supernova 1604 (also known as \textbf{Kepler's Supernova}, \textbf{Kepler's Nova} or \textbf{Kepler's Star})}
\label{fig:SN1604}
\end{figure}
\noindent Similar to the Historical Novae plugin
(section~\ref{sec:plugins:BrightNovae}), the Historical Supernovae
plugin provides visualization of bright historical supernovae
(Fig.~\ref{fig:SN1604}) from the table below.
If enabled (see section~\ref{sec:Plugins:EnablingPlugins}), bright
supernovae from the past will be presented in the sky at the correct
times. For example, set date and time to 29 April 1006, and look at the constellation \emph{Lupus} to see \emph{SN 1006A}.
\subsection{List of supernovae in default catalog}
\label{sec:plugins:HistoricalSupernovae:list}

\subsection{Light curves}
\label{sec:plugins:HistoricalSupernovae:lightcurves}
In this plugin a simple model of light curves for different supernovae
has been implemented (Figure~\ref{fig:SNTypeI+II}).
%% GZ I try to save 1 page by combining the figures.
While Type~I supernovae show a peak and slow but steady decay, Type~II supernovae show a longer ``plateau'' in the decay curve.
%A typical light curve used in the plugin for
%supernova type~I is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:SNTypeI} (bottom scale in
%days).

\label{sec:plugins:HistoricalSupernovae:format}
To add a new nova, open a new line after line 5 and paste the following, note commas and brackets, they are important:
\begin{configfile}
"Supernova designation":
{
"type": "type of supernova",
"maxMagnitude": value of maximal visual magnitude,
"peakJD": JD for maximal visual magnitude,
"alpha": "Right ascension (J2000)",
"delta": "Declination (J2000)",
"distance": value of distance between supernova and
Earth (in thousands of Light Years),
"note": "notes for supernova"
},
\end{configfile}
\noindent For example, the record for \textbf{SN 1604A} (\textbf{Kepler's Supernova}) looks like:
\begin{configfile}
"1604A":
{
"type": "I",
"maxMagnitude": -2,
"peakJD": 2307190,
"alpha": "17h30m36.00s",

\label{fig:Exoplanets}
\end{figure}
\noindent This plugin plots the position of stars with
exoplanets. Exoplanets data is derived from ``The Extrasolar Planets
Encyclopaedia''\footnote{\url{http://exoplanet.eu/}}. List of
potential habitable exoplanets and data about them were taken from
``The Habitable Exoplanets
Catalog''\footnote{\url{http://phl.upr.edu/projects/habitable-exoplanets-catalog}}
by the Planetary Habitability
Laboratory\footnote{\url{http://phl.upr.edu/home}}. If enabled (see
section~\ref{sec:Plugins:EnablingPlugins}), just click on the
Exoplanet button \guibutton{0.6}{btExoplanets-off.png} on the bottom
toolbar to display markers for the stars with known exoplanets. You
can then either click on such a marked star or find the stars with
exoplanets by their designation (e.g., \emph{24 Sex}) in the \key{F3} dialog (see~\ref{sec:gui:search}).
\subsection{Potential habitable exoplanets}
\label{sec:plugins:Exoplanets:habitable}
This plugin can display potential habitable exoplanets (orange marker) and some information about those planets.
\begin{description}
\item[Planetary Class] Planet classification from host star spectral
type (F, G, K, M; see
section~\ref{sec:Phenomena:SpectralTypeLuminosityClass}), habitable
zone (hot, warm, cold) and size (miniterran, subterran, terran,
superterran, jovian, neptunian) (Earth = G-Warm Terran).
\item[Equilibrium Temperature] The planetary equilibrium
temperature\footnote{\url{http://lasp.colorado.edu/~bagenal/3720/CLASS6/6EquilibriumTemp.html}}
is a theoretical temperature (in \degree C) that the planet would be
at when considered simply as if it were a black body being heated
only by its parent star (assuming a 0.3 bond albedo). As example the
planetary equilibrium temperature of Earth is -18.15\degree C (255~K).
\item[Earth Similarity Index (ESI)] Similarity to
Earth\footnote{\url{http://phl.upr.edu/projects/earth-similarity-index-esi}}
on a scale from 0 to 1, with 1 being the most Earth-like. ESI
depends on the planet's radius, density, escape velocity, and
surface temperature.

\noindent In contrast and extension of the random \emph{shooting stars}
feature of Stellarium (see section~\ref{sec:Phenomena:Meteoroids}), this
plugin provides data for real meteor showers and a marker for each
active and inactive radiant, showing real information about its activity.
If enabled (see section~\ref{sec:Plugins:EnablingPlugins}), just click
on the Meteor Showers button \guibutton{0.6}{btMS-off.png} on the bottom
toolbar to display markers for the radiants.
%% TODO: Consider moving to the astronomical phenomena chapter on meteor(oid)s?
\subsection{Terms}
\label{sec:plugins:MeteorShowers:terms}
\paragraph{Meteor shower}
A \indexterm{meteor shower} is a celestial event in which a number of
meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the
night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called
\indexterm{meteoroids} entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on
parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand,
so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's
surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor
outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1,000
meteors an hour.
\paragraph{Radiant}
The \indexterm{radiant} or \indexterm{apparent radiant} of a meteor
shower is the point in the sky from which (to a planetary observer)
meteors appear to originate. The Perseids, for example, are meteors
which appear to come from a point within the constellation of Perseus.
An observer might see such a meteor anywhere in the sky but the
direction of motion, when traced back, will point to the radiant. A
meteor that does not point back to the known radiant for a given
shower is known as a sporadic and is not considered part of that
shower.
Many showers have a radiant point that changes position during the
interval when it appears. For example, the radiant point for the Delta
Aurigids drifts by more than a degree per night.
\paragraph{Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR)}
The \indexterm{Zenithal Hourly Rate} (ZHR) of a meteor
shower is the number of meteors a single observer would see in one
hour under a clear, dark sky (limiting apparent magnitude of 6.5) if
the radiant of the shower were at the zenith. The rate that can
effectively be seen is nearly always lower and decreases the closer
the radiant is to the horizon.
\paragraph{Population index}
The \indexterm{population index} indicates the magnitude distribution
of the meteor showers. Values below 2.5 correspond to
distributions where bright meteors are more frequent than average,
while values above 3.0 mean that the share of faint meteors is larger
than usual.
\subsection{Section \big[MeteorShowers\big] in config.ini file}

You can edit \file{config.ini} file by yourself for changes of the
settings for the Meteor Showers plugin~-- just make it carefully!

\subsection{Format of Meteor Showers catalog}
\label{sec:plugins:MeteorShowers:format}
To add a new meteor shower, you just need to:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Copy the code of some valid meteor shower;
\item Paste it in the line 6 (right after the "showers": \{) of the showers.json document;
\item Replace the information according with your needs.
\end{enumerate}
