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.

• asteroid thermal models for flux estimation and size/albedo estimation

• image enhancement tools for comet comae and PSF subtraction tools

• lightcurve and shape analysis tools

• access tools for various databases for orbital and physical data, as well as ephemerides services

AOFlagger is a tool that can find and remove radio-frequency interference (RFI) in radio astronomical observations. It can make use of Lua scripts to make flagging strategies flexible, and the tools are applicable to a wide set of telescopes.

healpy is a Python package to handle pixelated data on the sphere. It is based on the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization (HEALPix) scheme and builds with the HEALPix C++ library.

TANGOS is a tool to build a database (along the lines of Eagle or MultiDark) for cosmological and zoom simulations.

Features:

• designed to store and manage results from custom analysis code

• provides web and Python interfaces

• science-focussed queries across entire merger trees, without requiring any knowledge of SQL

• manages the process of populating the database with science data, including auto-parallelising custom analysis

• customization with multiple Python modules such as pynbody or yt to process raw simulation data

• suports file-based database SQLite, server-based MySQL and PostgreSQL

skyfield computes positions for the stars, planets, and satellites in orbit around the Earth. Its results should agree with the positions generated by the United States Naval Observatory and their Astronomical Almanac to within 0.0005 arcseconds (half a mas or milliarcsecond).

The CPL comprises a set of ISO-C libraries that provide a comprehensive, efficient and robust software toolkit to develop astronomical data-reduction tasks (known as recipes). These data-reduction tasks can then be executed manually by a user, or can be triggered in an automated data-reduction framework (known as pipelines) which are used at ESO to monitor the health status of VLT instruments, for quick-look data processing at the observatory, and the creation of data products available from the ESO archive facility.

Glue is a python project to link visualizations of scientific datasets across many files.

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 Python implementation of ASDF - a proposed next generation interchange format for scientific data. ASDF aims to exist in the same middle ground that made FITS so successful, by being a hybrid text and binary format: containing human editable metadata for interchange, and raw binary data that is fast to load and use. Unlike FITS, the metadata is highly structured and is designed up-front for extensibility.

This package provides a python library to calculate IACT IRF and Sensitivities.

This package provides a history of astronomy library. Current Features:

• define standard positional numeral systems with standard arithmetics (BasedReal)

• set your own precision contexts and algorithms on arithmetical operations (PrecisionContext)

• keep track of all operations

• build or import ancient astronomical tables

• perform arithmetical and statistical operations

• support for BasedReal values

• define new calendar types

• date conversions

• collection of mathematical models used for all kinds of geocentric astronomical tables

Astropy is a single core package for Astronomy in Python. It contains much of the core functionality and some common tools needed for performing astronomy and astrophysics.

This package provides a comprehensive framework for Massive Black Hole binary population synthesis. The framework includes modules to perform population synthesis using a variety of methodologies from semi-analytic models, to cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, and even observationally-derived galaxy merger catalogs.

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.

lenstronomy is a multi-purpose software package to model strong gravitational lenses. lenstronomy finds application for time-delay cosmography and measuring the expansion rate of the Universe, for quantifying lensing substructure to infer dark matter properties, morphological quantification of galaxies, quasar-host galaxy decomposition and much more.

Regions is an Astropy package for region handling.

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.
