aiapy is a Python package for analyzing data from the AIA instrument onboard NASA's SDO spacecraft.

Ginga is a toolkit designed for building viewers for scientific image data in Python, visualizing 2D pixel data in numpy arrays. It can view astronomical data such as contained in files based on the FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file format. It is written and is maintained by software engineers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), and other contributing entities.

The Ginga toolkit centers around an image display object which supports zooming and panning, color and intensity mapping, a choice of several automatic cut levels algorithms and canvases for plotting scalable geometric forms. In addition to this widget, a general purpose "reference" FITS viewer is provided, based on a plugin framework. A fairly complete set of standard plugins are provided for features that we expect from a modern FITS viewer: panning and zooming windows, star catalog access, cuts, star pick/FWHM, thumbnails, etc.

Pynbody is an analysis framework for N-body and hydrodynamic astrophysical simulations supporting PKDGRAV/Gasoline, Gadget, Gadget4/Arepo, N-Chilada and RAMSES AMR outputs.

CRDS is a package used for working with astronomical reference files for the HST and JWST telescopes. CRDS is useful for performing various operations on reference files or reference file assignment rules. CRDS is used to assign, check, and compare reference files and rules, and also to predict those datasets which should potentially be reprocessed due to changes in reference files or assignment rules. CRDS has versioned rules which define the assignment of references for each type and instrument configuration. CRDS has web sites corresponding to each project http://hst-crds.stsci.edu or https://jwst-crds.stsci.edu/ which record information about reference files and provide related services.

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.

PetroFit is a package for calculating Petrosian properties, such as radii and concentration indices, as well as fitting galaxy light profiles. In particular, PetroFit includes tools for performing accurate photometry, segmentations, Petrosian profiling, and Sérsic fitting.

EsoRex is the European Southern Observatory Recipe Execution Tool. It can list, configure and execute Common Pipeline Library-based recipes from the command line.

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.

ASTROALIGN is a python module that will try to align two stellar astronomical images, especially when there is no WCS information available.

Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application. It can track a large number of satellites and display their position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and polar plots (radar view). Gpredict can also predict the time of future passes for a satellite, and provide you with detailed information about each pass.

Some core features of Gpredict include:

• Tracking of a large number of satellites only limited by the physical memory and processing power of the computer

• Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any combination of these

• Have many modules open at the same either in a notebook or in their own windows. The modules can also run in full-screen mode

• You can use many ground stations

• Predict upcoming passes

• Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and backward), and manual time control

• Detailed information both the real time and non-real time modes

• Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld

• Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld

STPSF produces simulated PSFs for the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's flagship infrared space telescope. STPSF can simulate images for any of the four science instruments plus the fine guidance sensor, including both direct imaging, coronagraphic, and spectroscopic modes.

This package provides a librari for spherical harmonic transforms (SHTs), which evolved from the libpsht library, addressing several of its shortcomings, such as adding MPI support for distributed memory systems and SHTs of fields with arbitrary spin, but also supporting new developments in CPU instruction sets like the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) or fused multiply-accumulate (FMA) instructions. The library is implemented in portable C99 and provides an interface that can be easily accessed from other programming languages such as C++, Fortran, Python etc. Generally, libsharp's performance is at least on par with that of its predecessor; however, significant improvements were made to the algorithms for scalar SHTs, which are roughly twice as fast when using the same CPU capabilities.

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

In EyE an artificial neural network connected to pixels of a moving window (retina) is trained to associate these input stimuli to the corresponding response in one or several output image(s). The resulting filter can be loaded in SExtractor to operate complex, wildly non-linear filters on astronomical images. Typical applications of EyE include adaptive filtering, feature detection and cosmetic corrections.
