CRDS is a package used for working with astronomical reference files for the HST and JWST telescopes. CRDS is useful for performing various operations on reference files or reference file assignment rules. CRDS is used to assign, check, and compare reference files and rules, and also to predict those datasets which should potentially be reprocessed due to changes in reference files or assignment rules. CRDS has versioned rules which define the assignment of references for each type and instrument configuration. CRDS has web sites corresponding to each project http://hst-crds.stsci.edu or https://jwst-crds.stsci.edu/ which record information about reference files and provide related services.

This package provides a structured, variable-resolution meshes, unstructured meshes, and discrete or sampled data such as particles. Focused on driving physically-meaningful inquiry, it has been applied in domains such as astrophysics, seismology, nuclear engineering, molecular dynamics, and oceanography.

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).

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

Skyfield computes positions for the stars, planets, and satellites in orbit around the Earth.

This package provides tools for COS.

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

The iers package provides access to the tables provided by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems service, in particular the Earth Orientation data allowing interpolation of published UT1-UTC and polar motion values for given times. The UT1-UTC values are used in Time and Dates (astropy.time) to provide UT1 values, and the polar motions are used in astropy.coordinates to determine Earth orientation for celestial-to-terrestrial coordinate transformations.

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.

This package supports the creation of a combined header for a FITS file based on the contents of the headers of a set of input FITS images. A rules file defines what keywords will be present in the combined output header as well as how the output value will be determined from the set of values from all the input image headers.

This package provides a comprehensive framework for Massive Black Hole binary population synthesis. The framework includes modules to perform population synthesis using a variety of methodologies from semi-analytic models, to cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, and even observationally-derived galaxy merger catalogs.

Astro-SCRAPPY is designed to detect cosmic rays in images (numpy arrays), based on Pieter van Dokkum's L.A.Cosmic algorithm. Much of this was originally adapted from cosmics.py written by Malte Tewes. This is designed to be as fast as possible so some of the readability has been sacrificed, specifically in the C code.

MARTINI is a modular package for the creation of synthetic resolved HI line observations (data cubes) of smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations of galaxies. The various aspects of the mock-observing process are divided logically into sub-modules handling the data cube, source, beam, noise,spectral model and SPH kernel. MARTINI is object-oriented: each sub-module provides a class (or classes) which can be configured as desired. For most sub-modules, base classes are provided to allow for straightforward customization. Instances of each sub-module class are given as parameters to the Martini class; a mock observation is then constructed by calling a handful of functions to execute the desired steps in the mock-observing process.

This package provides a Python package to calculate gravitational-wave sensitivity curves for pulsar timing arrays.

Features:

• pulsar transmission functions

• inverse-noise-weighted transmission functions

• individual pulsar sensitivity curves

• pulsar timing array sensitivity curves as characteristic strain, strain sensitivity or energy density

• power-law integrated sensitivity curves

• sensitivity sky maps for pulsar timing arrays

H5plot is a small GUI to view the solutions in an H5parm interactively. It is a spiritual successor to ParmDBplot for quickly reviewing gain solutions generated by NDPPP.

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.

Sunwait calculates sunrise or sunset times with civil, nautical, astronomical and custom twilights. The sun's position is calculated using time, and position - latitude and longitude should be specified on the command line.

Features:

• calculates sunrise and sunset for given coordinates

• can wait for sunrise/sunset, or return DAY or NIGHT codes

• works with Windows Task Scheduler (or cron)

• supports custom twilight angles

• used to automate domestic lighting with Arduino transmitter and radio controlled sockets

The mpl_animators package provides a set of classes which allow the easy construction of interactive matplotlib widget based animations.

TANGOS is a tool to build a database (along the lines of Eagle or MultiDark) for cosmological and zoom simulations.

Features:

• designed to store and manage results from custom analysis code

• provides web and Python interfaces

• science-focussed queries across entire merger trees, without requiring any knowledge of SQL

• manages the process of populating the database with science data, including auto-parallelising custom analysis

• customization with multiple Python modules such as pynbody or yt to process raw simulation data

• suports file-based database SQLite, server-based MySQL and PostgreSQL

Astral is a Python module that calculates times for various positions of the sun: dawn, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, dusk, solar elevation, solar azimuth, rahukaalam, and the phases of the moon.

Glue is a python project to link visualizations of scientific datasets across many files.

This package contains a helper functionality to test ROMAN and JWST.

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