Package Raccoon cleans the "wiggles" (i.e., low-frequency sinusoidal artifacts) in the JWST-NIRSpec IFS (integral field spectroscopy) data. These wiggles are caused by resampling noise or aliasing artifacts.

Generalized World Coordinate System (GWCS) is an Astropy affiliated package providing tools for managing the World Coordinate System of astronomical data.

GWCS takes a general approach to the problem of expressing transformations between pixel and world coordinates. It supports a data model which includes the entire transformation pipeline from input coordinates (detector by default) to world coordinates.

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.

The FITS "World Coordinate System" (WCS) standard defines keywords and usage that provide for the description of astronomical coordinate systems in a FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) image header.

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

This package provides a a simple program to predict the levels of background emission in JWST observations, for use in proposal planning.

It accesses a precompiled background cache prepared by Space Telescope Science Institute. The background cache is hosted by the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), so you need internet access to run the tool with the remote cache. It is possible to download the full background cache to your local machine.

ASTROALIGN is a python module that will try to align two stellar astronomical images, especially when there is no WCS information available.

Astrocut provides tools for making cutouts from sets of astronomical images with shared footprints. It is under active development.

Three main areas of functionality are included:

• solving the specific problem of creating image cutouts from sectors of Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite full-frame images

• general fits file cutouts including from single images and sets of images with the shared WCS/pixel scale

• cutout post-processing functionality, including centering cutouts along a path (for moving targets) and combining cutouts

The DKIST package aims to help you search, obtain and use DKIST data as part of your Python software.

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.

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

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

This package implements functionality of spectroscopic reduction in observations from Optical and Near-infrared spectroscopy instruments.

This package includes plugins that provide ASDF serialization support for Astropy objects.

Orbital is a high level orbital mechanics package for Python.

Software for Calibrating AstroMetry and Photometry is a software that computes astrometric projection parameters from source catalogues derived from FITS images. The computed solution is expressed according to the WCS standard. The main features of SCAMP are:

• compatibility with SExtractor FITS or Multi-Extension FITS catalogue format in input

• generation of WCS-compliant and SWarp-compatible FITS image headers in output

• automatic grouping of catalogues on the sky

• selectable on-line astrometric reference catalogue

• automatic determination of scale, position angle, flipping and coordinate shift using fast pattern-matching

• various astrometric calibration modes for single detectors and detector arrays

• combined astrometric solutions for multi-channel/instrument surveys

• highly configurable astrometric distortion polynomials

• correction for differential chromatic refraction

• proper motion measurements

• multi-threaded code that takes advantage of multiple processors

• VOTable-compliant XML output of meta-data

• XSLT filter sheet provided for convenient access to metadata from a regular web browser

stsci.imagestats is a package designed to compute various statistics on image data using sigma-clipping iterations. It is designed to replicate core behaviour of the IRAF's imstatistics task.

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.

WCSTools is a set of software utilities, written in C, which create, display and manipulate the world coordinate system of a FITS or IRAF image, using specific keywords in the image header which relate pixel position within the image to position on the sky. Auxiliary programs search star catalogs and manipulate images.

Cesium is a library for time-series feature extraction and processing.

This package provides tools for COS.

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

This package provides a Python package of Roman Datamodels for the calibration pipelines started with the JWST calibration pipelines. The goal for the JWST pipelines was motivated primarily by the need to support FITS data files, specifically with isolating the details of where metadata and data were located in the FITS file from the representation of the same items within the Python code. That is not a concern for Roman since FITS format data files will not be used by the Roman calibration pipelines.
