PySM generates full-sky simulations of Galactic emissions in intensity and polarization relevant to Cosmic Microwave Background experiments. It is a large refactor of PySM 2 focused on reducing memory usage, improving performance and run in parallel with MPI.

This package provides a sunpy FIDO plugin for accessing data in the Solar Orbiter Archive.

This package includes plugins that provide ASDF serialization support for Astropy objects.

This package provides a similar in functionality to the astropy.coordinates module, but with more of an emphasis on efficiency. Some functions are more than 100 times faster than the corresponding functionality in astropy. On the other hand, the API is somewhat more restrictive than the API used by astropy, so the appropriate module to use will depend on your needs.

HEALPix of a sphere produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel. This package provides the dynamic library for the C++ language implementation of HEALPix.

PyIRI is a Python implementation of the International Reference Ionosphere model. It provides fast, global, and altitude‑dependent evaluation of ionospheric parameters using a new spherical harmonics (SH) architecture. The model supports multiple coordinate systems and efficiently evaluates all grid points and time frames simultaneously.

WCSTools is a set of software utilities, written in C, which create, display and manipulate the world coordinate system of a FITS or IRAF image, using specific keywords in the image header which relate pixel position within the image to position on the sky. Auxiliary programs search star catalogs and manipulate images.

This package provides an astronomical image processing tool - SIRIL. It is specially tailored for noise reduction and improving the signal/noise ratio of an image from multiple captures, as required in astronomy. SIRIL can align automatically or manually, stack and enhance pictures from various file formats, even image sequence files (films and SER files). It works well with limited system resources, like in embedded platforms, but is also very fast when run on more powerful computers and provides conversion to FITS from a large number of image formats.

Python library to interface with OpenSpace using TCP sockets.

The iers package provides access to the tables provided by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems service, in particular the Earth Orientation data allowing interpolation of published UT1-UTC and polar motion values for given times. The UT1-UTC values are used in Time and Dates (astropy.time) to provide UT1 values, and the polar motions are used in astropy.coordinates to determine Earth orientation for celestial-to-terrestrial coordinate transformations.

This package provides ASDF schemas for validating transform tags. Users should not need to install this directly; instead, install an implementation package such as asdf-astropy.

casa_cube is a python package that provides an interface to data cubes generates by CASA or Gildas. It allows the user to perform simple tasks such plotting given channel maps, moment maps, line profile in various units, correcting for cloud extinction, reconvolving with a beam taper, trimming a cube. The syntax is similar to pymcfost to perform quick and easy comparison with models.

Regions is an Astropy package for region handling.

This package provides a EventSource plugin for ctapipe, needed to read the calibrated data of the MAGIC telescope system.

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

SOXS is a software suite which can create simulated X-ray observations of astrophysical sources with almost any existing or planned X-ray observatory. The goal of SOXS is to provide a comprehensive set of tools to design source models and convolve them with simulated models of X-ray instruments. This package was originally developed to support the Lynx X-ray Observatory mission concept, but has evolved to support other missions as well.

pyregion is a python module to parse ds9 region files. It also supports ciao region files. Features:

• ds9 and ciao region files.

• (physical, WCS) coordinate conversion to the image coordinate.

• convert regions to matplotlib patches.

• convert regions to spatial filter (i.e., generate mask images)

SPLASH is visualisation tool for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations in one, two and three dimensions, developed mainly for astrophysics. It uses a command-line menu but data can be manipulated interactively in the plotting window.

ZodiPy is an package for simulating zodiacal light in intensity for arbitrary solar system observers.

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.

DRMS module provides an easy-to-use interface for accessing HMI, AIA and MDI data with Python. It uses the publicly accessible JSOC (http://jsoc.stanford.edu/) DRMS server by default, but can also be used with local NetDRMS sites.

SunPy is package for solar physics and is meant to be a free alternative to the SolarSoft data analysis environment.

It includes an interface for searching and downloading data from multiple data providers, data containers for image and time series data, commonly used solar coordinate frames and associated transformations, as well as other functionality needed for solar data analysis.

This package provides base classes and command-line tools for implementing calibration pipeline software.

This package provides a Python CDF reader toolkit.

It provides the following functionality:

• Ability to read variables and attributes from CDF files

• Writes CDF version 3 files

• Can convert between CDF time types (EPOCH/EPOCH16/TT2000) to other common time formats

• Can convert CDF files into XArray Dataset objects and vice versa, attempting to maintain ISTP compliance
