SExtractor is a program that builds a catalogue of objects from an astronomical image. Although it is particularly oriented towards reduction of large scale galaxy-survey data, it can perform reasonably well on moderately crowded star fields.

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 consists of Python replacements for functions that are part of the IDL built-in library or part of astronomical IDL libraries. The emphasis is on reproducing results of the astronomical library functions. Only the bare minimum of IDL built-in functions are implemented to support this.

PINT is not TEMPO3 - package providing a Pulsar Timing, written in Python from scratch. Features:

• a robust system to produce high-precision timing results that is completely independent of TEMPO and Tempo2

• a system that is easy to extend and modify due to a good design and the use of a modern programming language, techniques, and libraries

PySM generates full-sky simulations of Galactic emissions in intensity and polarization relevant to Cosmic Microwave Background experiments. It is a large refactor of PySM 2 focused on reducing memory usage, improving performance and run in parallel with MPI.

This package provides a set of tools for the modelling of magnetic field data. It is a SunPy affiliated package and is built on top of sunpy and astropy.

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.

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.

This package provides ASDF schemas for validating World Coordinate System (WCS) tags. Users should not need to install this directly; instead, install an implementation package such as gwcs.

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.

qfits is a C library giving access to FITS file internals, both for reading and writing.

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

Cobaya, and Spanish for Guinea Pig) is a framework for sampling and statistical modelling: it allows you to explore an arbitrary prior or posterior using a range of Monte Carlo samplers (including the advanced MCMC sampler from CosmoMC, and the advanced nested sampler PolyChord). The results of the sampling can be analysed with GetDist. It supports MPI parallelization (and very soon HPC containerization with Docker/Shifter and Singularity).

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.

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

DRMS module provides an easy-to-use interface for accessing HMI, AIA and MDI data with Python. It uses the publicly accessible JSOC (http://jsoc.stanford.edu/) DRMS server by default, but can also be used with local NetDRMS sites.

This package provides a Glue plugin for geospatial imagery.

This package provides a Python wrapper for tempo2 - a high precision pulsar timing tool.

This package provides tools to read and analyze data from the IRIS solar-observing satellite.

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

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.

This package provides a Python implementation for computations of the position and velocity of an earth-orbiting satellite, given the satellite’s TLE orbital elements from a source like https://celestrak.org/.

It implements the most recent version of SGP4, and is regularly run against the SGP4 test suite to make sure that its satellite position predictions agree to within 0.1 mm with the predictions of the standard distribution of the algorithm. This error is far less than the 1–3 km/day by which satellites themselves deviate from the ideal orbits described in TLE files.

This package provides a wrapper around casacore, the radio astronomy library.

Halotools is a specialized python package for building and testing models of the galaxy-halo connection, and analyzing catalogs of dark matter halos. The core feature of Halotools is a modular platform for creating mock universes of galaxies starting from a catalog of dark matter halos obtained from a cosmological simulation.
