Skyfield computes positions for the stars, planets, and satellites in orbit around the Earth.

pysiaf is a python package to access, interpret, maintain, and generate Handling of Science Instrument Aperture Files, in particular for JWST. Tools for applying the frame transformations, plotting, comparison, and validation are provided.

SNData provides an access to data releases published by a variety of supernova (SN) surveys. It is designed to support the development of scalable analysis pipelines that translate with minimal effort between and across data sets. A summary of accessible data is provided below. Access to additional surveys is added upon request or as needed for individual research projects undertaken by the developers.

ADARI (Astronomical DAta Reporting Infrastructure) is a system designed for creating graphical reports of astronomical data so that the quality of these products can be assessed. It has been designed from the ground up to be backend-agnostic, meaning the same ADARI code can be sent to a web plotting API, or a code-based plotting API, with no alteration.

This package contains FIT and CSV files required for WebbPSF installation and distributed separately from it.

ndcube is a package for manipulating, inspecting and visualizing multi-dimensional contiguous and non-contiguous coordinate-aware data arrays.

It combines data, uncertainties, units, metadata, masking, and coordinate transformations into classes with unified slicing and generic coordinate transformations and plotting/animation capabilities. It is designed to handle data of any number of dimensions and axis types (e.g. spatial, temporal, spectral, etc.) whose relationship between the array elements and the real world can be described by WCS translations.

Astral is a Python module that calculates times for various positions of the sun: dawn, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, dusk, solar elevation, solar azimuth, rahukaalam, and the phases of the moon.

The glue-astronomy plugin for glue provides a collection of astronomy-specific functionality

This package implements a functionality to produce map based simulations for the Simons Observatory or other CMB experiments. It creates simulated maps in HEALPix and CAR pixelization based on:

• foreground models included in PySM

• custom foregrounds models from the so_pysm_models package

• precomputed Cosmic Microwave Background simulations

• noise simulations based on expected performance and simulated hitmaps

• effect of gaussian beam convolution

PyEsoRex is a command line tool which can serve as a drop-in replacement of EsoRex, which can execute both, existing pipeline recipes implemented using the Common Pipeline Library C API, and recipes implemented using the PyCPL Python API.

SEP makes the core algorithms of sextractor available as a library of stand-alone functions and classes. These operate directly on in-memory arrays (no FITS files or configuration files). The code is derived from the Source Extractor code base (written in C) and aims to produce results compatible with Source Extractor whenever possible. SEP consists of a C library with no dependencies outside the standard library, and a Python module that wraps the C library in a Pythonic API. The Python wrapper operates on NumPy arrays with NumPy as its only dependency.

Software for Calibrating AstroMetry and Photometry is a software that computes astrometric projection parameters from source catalogues derived from FITS images. The computed solution is expressed according to the WCS standard. The main features of SCAMP are:

• compatibility with SExtractor FITS or Multi-Extension FITS catalogue format in input

• generation of WCS-compliant and SWarp-compatible FITS image headers in output

• automatic grouping of catalogues on the sky

• selectable on-line astrometric reference catalogue

• automatic determination of scale, position angle, flipping and coordinate shift using fast pattern-matching

• various astrometric calibration modes for single detectors and detector arrays

• combined astrometric solutions for multi-channel/instrument surveys

• highly configurable astrometric distortion polynomials

• correction for differential chromatic refraction

• proper motion measurements

• multi-threaded code that takes advantage of multiple processors

• VOTable-compliant XML output of meta-data

• XSLT filter sheet provided for convenient access to metadata from a regular web browser

The mpl_animators package provides a set of classes which allow the easy construction of interactive matplotlib widget based animations.

CFITSIO provides simple high-level routines for reading and writing Flexible Image Transport System files that insulate the programmer from the internal complexities of the FITS format. CFITSIO also provides many advanced features for manipulating and filtering the information in FITS files.

This package provides a Python library for reading from and writing to FITS files using the CFITSIO library. Among other things, it can

• read and write image, binary, and ascii table extensions;

• read arbitrary subsets of tables in a lazy manner;

• query the rows and columns of a table;

• read and write header keywords;

• read and write Gzip files.

Stellarium shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope. It can be used to control telescopes over a serial port for tracking celestial objects.

madrigalWeb is a pure python module to access data from any Madrigal database.

Madrigal is an upper atmospheric science database used by groups throughout the world. Madrigal is a robust, World Wide Web based system capable of managing and serving archival and real-time data, in a variety of formats, from a wide range of upper atmospheric science instruments. Data at each Madrigal site is locally controlled and can be updated at any time, but shared metadata between Madrigal sites allow searching of all Madrigal sites at once from any Madrigal site.

SNCosmo is a Python library for supernova cosmology analysis. It aims to make such analysis both as flexible and clear as possible.

SExtractor is a program that builds a catalogue of objects from an astronomical image. Although it is particularly oriented towards reduction of large scale galaxy-survey data, it can perform reasonably well on moderately crowded star fields.

The DKIST package aims to help you search, obtain and use DKIST data as part of your Python software.

The drizzle library is a Python package for combining dithered images into a single image. This library is derived from code used in DrizzlePac. Like DrizzlePac, most of the code is implemented in the C language. The biggest change from DrizzlePac is that this code passes an array that maps the input to output image into the C code, while the DrizzlePac code computes the mapping by using a Python callback. Switching to using an array allowed the code to be greatly simplified.

Astrolib PySynphot (hereafter referred to only as pysynphot) is an object-oriented replacement for STSDAS SYNPHOT synthetic photometry package in IRAF. pysynphot simulates photometric data and spectra as they are observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Passbands for standard photometric systems are available, and users can incorporate their own filters, spectra, and data.

This package implements a reader for CORSIKA binary output files using NumPy.
