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.

This package provides a replacement for IRAF STSDAS SYNPHOT and ASTROLIB PYSYNPHOT, utilizing Astropy and covering the non-instrument specific portions of the old packages.

• calculates sunrise and sunset for given coordinates

• can wait for sunrise/sunset, or return DAY or NIGHT codes

• works with Windows Task Scheduler (or cron)

• supports custom twilight angles

• used to automate domestic lighting with Arduino transmitter and radio controlled sockets

CAMB is a cosmology code for calculating cosmological observables, including CMB, lensing, source count and 21cm angular power spectra, matter power spectra, transfer functions and background evolution. The code is in Python, with numerical code implemented in fast modern Fortran.

Tempo analyzes pulsar timing data. Pulse times of arrival (TOAs), pulsar model parameters, and coded instructions are read from one or more input files. The TOAs are fitted by a pulse timing model incorporating transformation to the solar-system barycenter, pulsar rotation and spin-down and, where necessary, one of several binary models. Program output includes parameter values and uncertainties, residual pulse arrival times, chi-squared statistics, and the covariance matrix of the model. In prediction mode,ephemerides of pulse phase behavior (in the form of polynomial expansions) are calculated from input timing models.

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.

SWarp is a program that resamples and co-adds together FITS images using any arbitrary astrometric projection defined in the WCS standard.

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 package statmorph implements functionality of calculating non-parametric morphological diagnostics of galaxy images (e.g., Gini-M_20 and CAS statistics), as well as fitting 2D Sérsic profiles.

This package provides shared libraries to interface Pascal program with standard astronomy libraries:

• libpasgetdss.so: Interface with GetDSS to work with DSS images.

• libpasplan404.so: Interface with Plan404 to compute planets position.

• libpaswcs.so: Interface with libwcs to work with FITS WCS.

• libpasspice.so: To work with NAIF/SPICE kernel.

This package provides general tools for astronomical time series in Python.

This package provides an image processing toolbox for Solar Physics.

Python package of utility functions that are useful in analyzing various datasets, in particular, catalogs of particles or galaxies/halos from cosmological simulations.

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.

PlasmaPy is Python package for plasma research and education. PlasmaPy intends to be for plasma science what Astropy is for astronomy — a collection of functionality commonly needed by plasma scientists and researchers globally, running within and leveraging the open source scientific Python ecosystem.

This package provides a flexible toolbox for observation planning and scheduling. When complete, the goal is to be easy for Python beginners and new observers to to pick up, but powerful enough for observatories preparing nightly and long-term schedules.

Features:

• calculate rise/set/meridian transit times, alt/az positions for targets at observatories anywhere on Earth

• built-in plotting convenience functions for standard observation planning plots (airmass, parallactic angle, sky maps)

• determining observability of sets of targets given an arbitrary set of constraints (i.e., altitude, airmass, moon separation/illumination, etc.)

This package provides tools for machine learning and data mining in astronomy.

Photutils is an Astropy package for detection and photometry of astronomical sources.

This package provides a wide variety of utilities, focused primarily on numerical python, statistics, and file input/output. Includes specialized tools for astronomers.

ImPPG performs Lucy-Richardson deconvolution, unsharp masking, brightness normalization and tone curve adjustment. It can also apply previously specified processing settings to multiple images. All operations are performed using 32-bit floating-point arithmetic.

Supported input formats: FITS, BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF (most of bit depths and compression methods), TGA and more. Images are processed in grayscale and can be saved as: BMP 8-bit; PNG 8-bit; TIFF 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit floating-point (no compression, LZW- or ZIP-compressed), FITS 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit floating-point.

This package provides build downsampled previews of Space Telescope products.

This is a library implementing the simplified perturbations model. It can be used to calculate the trajectory of satellites.

spacetrack is a python module for Space-Track which promotes space flight safety, protection of the space environment and the peaceful use of space worldwide by sharing space situational awareness services and information with international satellite owners/operators, academia and other entities.

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.
