Extensions of the CDPP/Propagation tool to the case of comets, giant planet auroral emissions, and catalogues of solar wind disturbances

For this PSWS service we has extended the Propagation Tool available at CDPP (http://propagationtool.cdpp.eu) to the case of comets, giant planet auroral emissions, and catalogues of solar wind disturbances. The service provides new plug-ins including selection of comets as targets, visualization of their trajectories, projection onto solar maps, projection onto J-maps (maps of solar wind outflows obtained from the Heliospheric Imagers onboard STEREO spacecraft, in which multiple elongation profiles along a constant position angle are stacked in time, building an image in which radially propagating transients form curved tracks in the J-map; it will enable the user to use catalogue of solar wind disturbances in order to identify those that have impacted the planetary environments.
