Astropy is a single core package for Astronomy in Python. It contains much of the core functionality and some common tools needed for performing astronomy and astrophysics.

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 provides ALFA, which can identify and fit hundreds of lines in emission line spectra in just a few seconds with following features:

• A population of synthetic spectra is generated using a reference line catalogue.

• The goodness of fit for each synthetic spectrum is calculated. The best sets of parameters are retained and the rest discarded.

• A new population of synthetic spectra is obtained by averaging pairs of the best performers.

• A small fraction of the parameters of the lines in the new generation are randomly altered.

• The process repeats until a good fit is obtained.

This simulation program lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia simulates many different types of celestial objects. From planets and moons to star clusters and galaxies, you can visit every object in the expandable database and view it from any point in space and time. The position and movement of solar system objects is calculated accurately in real time at any rate desired.

This package provides a Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Science Data Processor (SDP) function library for radio astronomy.

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.

lenstronomy is a multi-purpose software package to model strong gravitational lenses. lenstronomy finds application for time-delay cosmography and measuring the expansion rate of the Universe, for quantifying lensing substructure to infer dark matter properties, morphological quantification of galaxies, quasar-host galaxy decomposition and much more.

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.

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.

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

pixell is a library for loading, manipulating and analyzing maps stored in rectangular pixelization. It is mainly intended for use with maps of the sky (e.g. CMB intensity and polarization maps, stacks of 21 cm intensity maps, binned galaxy positions or shear) in cylindrical projection, but its core functionality is more general.

The drizzle library is a Python package for combining dithered images into a single image. This library is derived from code used in DrizzlePac. Like DrizzlePac, most of the code is implemented in the C language. The biggest change from DrizzlePac is that this code passes an array that maps the input to output image into the C code, while the DrizzlePac code computes the mapping by using a Python callback. Switching to using an array allowed the code to be greatly simplified.

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.

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.

GLNEMO2 is an interactive 3D visualization program which displays particles positions of the different components (gas, stars, disk, dark matter halo, bulge) of an N-body snapshot. It is a tool for running N-body simulations from isolated galaxies to cosmological simulations. It has a graphical user interface (based on QT 5.X API), uses a fast 3D engine (OPenGL and GLSL), and is generic with the possibility to load different kinds of input files.

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

SiriLic (SiriL's Interactif Companion) is a software for preparing acquisition files (raw, Biases, Flat and Dark) for processing with SiriL software.

Features:

• structuring the SiriL working directory into sub-folders

• convert Raw, Biases , Dark or Flat files into SiriL sequence

• automatically generate the SiriL script according to the files present and the options

• batch process multiple channel and sessions

STScI tools and algorithms used in calibration pipelines.

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.

This package implements a functionality to match sky on image mosaic.

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.

The GNU Astronomy Utilities (Gnuastro) is a suite of programs for the manipulation and analysis of astronomical data.

This package provides an access to the JWST Science Calibration Pipeline processes data from all JWST instruments and observing modes by applying various science corrections sequentially, producing both fully-calibrated individual exposures and high-level data products (mosaics, extracted spectra, etc.).

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