PHD2 is the enhanced,second generation version of the PHD guiding software from Stark Labs.

POPPY is a Python package that simulates physical optical propagation including diffraction. It implements a flexible framework for modeling Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction and point spread function formation, particularly in the context of astronomical telescopes.

POPPY was developed as part of a simulation package for the James Webb Space Telescope, but is more broadly applicable to many kinds of imaging simulations. It is not, however, a substitute for high fidelity optical design software such as Zemax or Code V, but rather is intended as a lightweight alternative for cases for which diffractive rather than geometric optics is the topic of interest, and which require portability between platforms or ease of scripting.

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 simulation program lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia simulates many different types of celestial objects. From planets and moons to star clusters and galaxies, you can visit every object in the expandable database and view it from any point in space and time. The position and movement of solar system objects is calculated accurately in real time at any rate desired.

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

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.

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

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

UNSIO provides an API for performing input and output operations on different kinds of n-body file formats (nemo, Gadget binaries 1 and 2, Gadget hdf5, Ramses).

pyregion is a python module to parse ds9 region files. It also supports ciao region files. Features:

• ds9 and ciao region files.

• (physical, WCS) coordinate conversion to the image coordinate.

• convert regions to matplotlib patches.

• convert regions to spatial filter (i.e., generate mask images)

Provides DataModel, which is the base class for data models implemented in the JWST and Roman calibration software.

HEALPix of a sphere produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel. This package provides the dynamic library for the C language implementation of HEALPix.

The spectral-cube package provides an easy way to read, manipulate, analyze, and write data cubes with two positional dimensions and one spectral dimension, optionally with Stokes parameters.

It provides the following main features:

• A uniform interface to spectral cubes, robust to the wide range of conventions of axis order, spatial projections, and spectral units that exist in the wild.

• Easy extraction of cube sub-regions using physical coordinates.

• Ability to easily create, combine, and apply masks to datasets.

• Basic summary statistic methods like moments and array aggregates.

• Designed to work with datasets too large to load into memory.

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.

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.

Astrolib PySynphot (hereafter referred to only as pysynphot) is an object-oriented replacement for STSDAS SYNPHOT synthetic photometry package in IRAF. pysynphot simulates photometric data and spectra as they are observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Passbands for standard photometric systems are available, and users can incorporate their own filters, spectra, and data.

GalSim is software for simulating images of astronomical objects (stars, galaxies) in a variety of ways.

This package provides an yt extension package for astrophysical analysis. This package contains functionality for:

• halo finding and analysis

• lightcones

• planning cosmological simulations for making lightcones and lightrays

• exporting to the RADMC-3D radiation transport code

• creating PPV FITS cubes

PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision astronomy computations.

The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is the traditional term for a table giving the position of a planet, asteroid, or comet for a series of dates.

This package provides astronomical interstellar dust extinction curves implemented using the astropy.modeling framework.
