• Plot customizable shapes like circles, ellipses, and rectangles

• Overlay ds9 region files

• Overlay coordinate grids

• Show colorbars, scalebars, and beams

• Customize the appearance of labels and ticks

• Hide, show, and remove different contour and marker layers

• Pan, zoom, and save any view as a full publication-quality plot

• Save plots as EPS, PDF, PS, PNG, and SVG

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.

CalcMySky is a software package that simulates scattering of light by the atmosphere to render daytime and twilight skies (without stars). Its primary purpose is to enable realistic view of the sky in applications such as planetaria. Secondary objective is to make it possible to explore atmospheric effects such as glories, fogbows etc., as well as simulate unusual environments such as on Mars or an exoplanet orbiting a star with a non-solar spectrum of radiation.

This package consists of three parts:

• calcmysky utility that does the precomputation of the atmosphere model to enable rendering.

• libShowMySky library that lets the applications render the atmosphere model.

• ShowMySky preview GUI that makes it possible to preview the rendering of the atmosphere model and examine its properties.

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.

SunPy is package for solar physics and is meant to be a free alternative to the SolarSoft data analysis environment.

It includes an interface for searching and downloading data from multiple data providers, data containers for image and time series data, commonly used solar coordinate frames and associated transformations, as well as other functionality needed for solar data analysis.

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.

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

Event reconstruction framework for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes developed for CTAO.

This package provides a functionality to reproject astronomical images using various techniques via a uniform interface, where reprojection is the re-gridding of images from one world coordinate system to another e.g. changing the pixel resolution, orientation, coordinate system.

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

INDI (Instrument-Neutral Device Interface) is a distributed XML-based control protocol designed to operate astronomical instrumentation. INDI is small, flexible, easy to parse, scalable, and stateless. It supports common DCS functions such as remote control, data acquisition, monitoring, and a lot more.

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.

Tempo analyzes pulsar timing data. Pulse times of arrival (TOAs), pulsar model parameters, and coded instructions are read from one or more input files. The TOAs are fitted by a pulse timing model incorporating transformation to the solar-system barycenter, pulsar rotation and spin-down and, where necessary, one of several binary models. Program output includes parameter values and uncertainties, residual pulse arrival times, chi-squared statistics, and the covariance matrix of the model. In prediction mode,ephemerides of pulse phase behavior (in the form of polynomial expansions) are calculated from input timing models.

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 provides ASDF schemas for validating transform tags. Users should not need to install this directly; instead, install an implementation package such as asdf-astropy.

SWarp is a program that resamples and co-adds together FITS images using any arbitrary astrometric projection defined in the WCS standard.

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.
