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.

STIFF is a program that converts scientific FITS images to the more popular TIFF format for illustration purposes.

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.

PyAVM is a module to represent, read, and write metadata following the AVM standard provided by vamp project.

SNData provides an access to data releases published by a variety of supernova (SN) surveys. It is designed to support the development of scalable analysis pipelines that translate with minimal effort between and across data sets. A summary of accessible data is provided below. Access to additional surveys is added upon request or as needed for individual research projects undertaken by the developers.

astrodata is a package for managing astronomical data through a uniform interface. It is designed to be used with the Astropy package. astrodata was created for use as part of the DRAGONS data reduction pipeline, but it is now implemented to be useful for any astronomical data reduction or analysis project.

Unlike managing files using the astropy.io.fits package alone, astrodata is designed to be extendible to any data format, and to parse, respond to, and store metadata in a consistent, intentional way. This makes it especially useful for managing data from multiple instruments, telescopes, and data generation utilities.

Regions is an Astropy package for region handling.

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.

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.

This package provides HEALPix to the Astropy project.

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.

APLpy is a Python module aimed at producing publication-quality plots of astronomical imaging data in FITS format. The module uses matplotlib, a powerful and interactive plotting package. It is capable of creating output files in several graphical formats, including EPS, PDF, PS, PNG, and SVG.

Main features:

• Make plots interactively or using scripts

• Show grayscale, colorscale, and 3-color RGB images of FITS files

• Generate co-aligned FITS cubes to make 3-color RGB images

• Make plots from FITS files with arbitrary WCS (e.g. position-velocity)

• Slice multi-dimensional FITS cubes

• Overlay any number of contour sets

• Overlay markers with fully customizable symbols

• 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

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 provides a CIANNA - a general-purpose deep learning framework primarily developed and used for astronomical data analysis.

This package provides an interface to Heliophysics Application Programmer’s Interface data server API.

hvpy is a Python API wrapper around the formal https://api.helioviewer.org/docs/v2/.

VELOCIraptor-Python is a python toolkit for reading VELOCIraptor outputs, with a particular focus on integration with the SWIFT cosmological simulation code.

It allows for automatic association of symbolic units (using unyt) with halo properties, extraction of individual haloes to a SWIFTsimIO dataset, and includes tools to help create both publication-ready and quick figures.

This package provides build downsampled previews of Space Telescope products.

SPLASH is visualisation tool for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations in one, two and three dimensions, developed mainly for astrophysics. It uses a command-line menu but data can be manipulated interactively in the plotting window.

This is a library implementing the simplified perturbations model. It can be used to calculate the trajectory of satellites.

Photutils is an Astropy package for detection and photometry of astronomical sources.

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

PHD2 is the enhanced,second generation version of the PHD guiding software from Stark Labs.

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.
