The Advanced Scientific Data Format (ASDF) is a next-generation interchange format for scientific data. This package contains the Python implementation of the ASDF Standard.

Fitsverify is a computer program that rigorously checks whether a FITS data file conforms to the requirements defined in Version 3.0 of the FITS Standard document.

This package provides a Python definition and validation schemata for FITS files.

CCfits is an object oriented interface to the cfitsio library. It is designed to make the capabilities of cfitsio available to programmers working in C++. It is written in ANSI C++ and implemented using the C++ Standard Library with namespaces, exception handling, and member template functions.

This package implements a functionality for calibration of science observations from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

PyCPL provides Python3 language bindings for the complete programming API of the European Southern Observatory Common Pipeline Library toolkit, including the CPL plugin interface.

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

Tempo2 is a pulsar timing package, based on the old FORTRAN TEMPO code to address some shortcomings in that code for high precision pulsar timing. See related paper https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006MNRAS.369..655H/abstract.

Stellarium is a planetarium. It 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.

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).

PyERFA is the Python wrapper for the ERFA library (Essential Routines for Fundamental Astronomy), a C library containing key algorithms for astronomy, which is based on the SOFA library published by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). All C routines are wrapped as Numpy universal functions, so that they can be called with scalar or array inputs.

Radio Beam is a simple toolkit for reading beam information from FITS headers and manipulating beams. Some example applications include:

• Convolution and deconvolution

• Unit conversion (Jy to/from K)

• Handle sets of beams for spectral cubes with varying resolution between channels

• Find the smallest common beam from a set of beams

• Add the beam shape to a matplotlib plot

This package provides N(ell) noise curve projection code for the Simons Observatory. The intention is that the full history of noise models will be provided to supplement published projections and simulations.

This package provides source-only AOCommon collection of functionality that is reused in several astronomical applications, such as wsclean, aoflagger, DP3 and everybeam.

This package provides an astronomical Python package with image processing functions: xyxymatch, geomap.

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

Stuff is a program that simulates "perfect" astronomical catalogues. It generates object lists in ASCII which can read by the SkyMaker program to produce realistic astronomical fields. Stuff is part of the EFIGI development project.

The FITS "World Coordinate System" (WCS) standard defines keywords and usage that provide for the description of astronomical coordinate systems in a FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) image header.

This package provides a Low-Frequency Array a large radio telescope Solution Tool.

Xplanet renders an image of a planet into an X window or file. All of the major planets and most satellites can be drawn and different map projections are also supported, including azimuthal, hemisphere, Lambert, Mercator, Mollweide, Peters, polyconic, orthographic and rectangular.

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

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.

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.

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.
