This package provides a cython-optimized implementations of empirical dust exitinction laws found in the literature.

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.

This package implements a functionality to produce map based simulations for the Simons Observatory or other CMB experiments. It creates simulated maps in HEALPix and CAR pixelization based on:

• foreground models included in PySM

• custom foregrounds models from the so_pysm_models package

• precomputed Cosmic Microwave Background simulations

• noise simulations based on expected performance and simulated hitmaps

• effect of gaussian beam convolution

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.

SOXS is a software suite which can create simulated X-ray observations of astrophysical sources with almost any existing or planned X-ray observatory. The goal of SOXS is to provide a comprehensive set of tools to design source models and convolve them with simulated models of X-ray instruments. This package was originally developed to support the Lynx X-ray Observatory mission concept, but has evolved to support other missions as well.

The concept of the pvextractor package is simple - given a path defined in sky coordinates, and a spectral cube, extract a slice of the cube along that path, and along the spectral axis, producing a position-velocity or position-frequency slice.

This package provides a Python library for reading from and writing to FITS files using the CFITSIO library. Among other things, it can

• read and write image, binary, and ascii table extensions;

• read arbitrary subsets of tables in a lazy manner;

• query the rows and columns of a table;

• read and write header keywords;

• read and write Gzip files.

RAD is package which defines schemas for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope shared attributes for processing and archive. These schemas are schemas for the ASDF file file format, which are used by ASDF to serialize and deserialize data for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

This package provides shared libraries to interface Pascal program with standard astronomy libraries:

• libpasgetdss.so: Interface with GetDSS to work with DSS images.

• libpasplan404.so: Interface with Plan404 to compute planets position.

• libpaswcs.so: Interface with libwcs to work with FITS WCS.

• libpasspice.so: To work with NAIF/SPICE kernel.

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

uranimator is a CLI tool that works with your existing (code uraniborg) install to create animations. See how the sky evolves over a million years or what traveling to a star 100 light years away looks like.

This package provides general tools for astronomical time series in Python.

This package provides ASDF schemas for validating FITS tags.

This package provides an astronomical image processing tool - SIRIL. It is specially tailored for noise reduction and improving the signal/noise ratio of an image from multiple captures, as required in astronomy. SIRIL can align automatically or manually, stack and enhance pictures from various file formats, even image sequence files (films and SER files). It works well with limited system resources, like in embedded platforms, but is also very fast when run on more powerful computers and provides conversion to FITS from a large number of image formats.

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

hvpy is a Python API wrapper around the formal https://api.helioviewer.org/docs/v2/.

LibXISF is C++ library that can read and write XISF files produced by PixInsight. It implements XISF 1.0 specification.

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.

pyHalo renders full mass distributions for substructure lensing simulations with gravitational lensing software package lenstronomy. The main purpose of the code is to quickly render full populations of dark matter subhalos and line of sight halos for gravitational lensing simulations. It also transltes halo properties (mass, concentration, redshift, etc) into angular units for lensing computations with lenstronomy.

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

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

This package provides a flexible toolbox for observation planning and scheduling. When complete, the goal is to be easy for Python beginners and new observers to to pick up, but powerful enough for observatories preparing nightly and long-term schedules.

Features:

• calculate rise/set/meridian transit times, alt/az positions for targets at observatories anywhere on Earth

• built-in plotting convenience functions for standard observation planning plots (airmass, parallactic angle, sky maps)

• determining observability of sets of targets given an arbitrary set of constraints (i.e., altitude, airmass, moon separation/illumination, etc.)

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

specutils is a Python package for representing, loading, manipulating,and analyzing astronomical spectroscopic data. The generic data containers and accompanying modules provide a toolbox that the astronomical community can use to build more domain-specific packages. For more details about the underlying principles, see APE13.
