PSFEx extracts models of the PSF from FITS images processed with SExtractor, and measures the quality of images. The generated PSF models can be used for model-fitting photometry or morphological analyses.

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.

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.

PyBDSF (the Python Blob Detection and Source Finder) is a tool designed to decompose radio interferometry images into sources and make available their properties for further use. PyBDSF can decompose an image into a set of Gaussians, shapelets, or wavelets as well as calculate spectral indices and polarization properties of sources and measure the psf variation across an image. PyBDSF uses an interactive environment based on CASA that will be familiar to most radio astronomers. Additionally, PyBDSF may also be used in Python scripts.

STScI tools and algorithms used in calibration pipelines.

This package provides a tooling for solar X-ray spectroscopy based on SunPy.

radiospectra provides support for some type of radio spectra in solar physics.

This package provides schema definitions for the Data Formats For Gamma-Ray Astronomy.

This package provides a Python client for interacting with a VirES server, of which there are two: VirES for Swarm and VirES for Aeolus

STWCS provides support for WCS distortion models and coordinate transformation for the imaging instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope).

This package implements functionality for simulating X-ray emission from astrophysical sources.

X-rays probe the high-energy universe, from hot galaxy clusters to compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes and many interesting sources in between. pyXSIM makes it possible to generate synthetic X-ray observations of these sources from a wide variety of models, whether from grid-based simulation codes such as FLASH, Enzo, and Athena, to particle-based codes such as Gadget and AREPO, and even from datasets that have been created 'by hand', such as from NumPy arrays. pyXSIM also provides facilities for manipulating the synthetic observations it produces in various ways, as well as ways to export the simulated X-ray events to other software packages to simulate the end products of specific X-ray observatories.

romanisim is a Galsim-based simulator of imaging data from the WFI on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (pronounced roman-eye-sim, stylized Roman I-Sim). It uses Galsim to render astronomical scenes, WebbPSF to model the point spread function, and CRDS to access the calibration information needed to produce realistic WFI images.

Weightwatcher is a program hat combines weight-maps, flag-maps and polygon data in order to produce control maps which can directly be used in astronomical image-processing packages like Drizzle, Swarp or SExtractor.

This packages provides a calibration software for COS.

BayesicFitting is a package for model fitting and Bayesian evidence calculation, it is a Python version of the the fitter classes in HCSS. HCSS was the all encompassing software system for the operations and analysis of the ESA satelite Herschel.

Generalized World Coordinate System (GWCS) is an Astropy affiliated package providing tools for managing the World Coordinate System of astronomical data.

GWCS takes a general approach to the problem of expressing transformations between pixel and world coordinates. It supports a data model which includes the entire transformation pipeline from input coordinates (detector by default) to world coordinates.

This package implements a functionality to match sky on image mosaic.

This package provides a a simple program to predict the levels of background emission in JWST observations, for use in proposal planning.

It accesses a precompiled background cache prepared by Space Telescope Science Institute. The background cache is hosted by the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), so you need internet access to run the tool with the remote cache. It is possible to download the full background cache to your local machine.

This package implements functionality of Point Spread Function describing how the optical system spreads light from sources.

The ccdproc package provides many of the necessary tools for processing of CCD images built on a framework to provide error propagation and bad pixel tracking throughout the reduction process.

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.

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

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

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.
