[ascl:2603.006] AstroQ: Optimization-based scheduler for astronomical observations
AstroQ optimizes the allocation and ordering of astronomical observations for the KPF Community Cadence (KPF-CC) program. The autoscheduling framework solves two related scheduling problems: determining which targets should be observed on which nights within a semester and distributing instrument nights optimally across the observing queue. The software reads target request information and configuration files, then computes observation schedules using optimization routines that rely on the Gurobi solver. AstroQ integrates with a Traveling Telescope Problem (TTP) solver to determine the optimal sequence of observations within a night by minimizing slew paths between targets. Example configurations and command-line tools allow users to generate schedules from input request files and analyze resulting observation plans.
