PlasmaPy is Python package for plasma research and education. PlasmaPy intends to be for plasma science what Astropy is for astronomy — a collection of functionality commonly needed by plasma scientists and researchers globally, running within and leveraging the open source scientific Python ecosystem.

PypeIt is a Python package for semi-automated reduction of astronomical spectroscopic data. Its algorithms build on decades-long development of previous data reduction pipelines by the developers.

It is designed to be used by both advanced spectroscopists with prior data reduction expertise and astronomers with no prior experience of data reduction. It is highly configurable and designed to be applied to any standard slit-imaging spectrograph, including long-slit, multi-slit, as well as cross-dispersed echelle spectra.

This package provides a pure Python tooling for ionospheric analyses in radio astronomy, e.g. getting total electron content and rotation measure.

Hubble Space Telescope image combination using the drizzle algorithm to combine astronomical images, to model image distortion, to remove cosmic rays, and generally to improve the fidelity of data in the final image.

This package provides functions to import data from the Madrigal database (upper atmospheric science database) into pysat.

PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision astronomy computations.

The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is the traditional term for a table giving the position of a planet, asteroid, or comet for a series of dates.

Radio Beam is a simple toolkit for reading beam information from FITS headers and manipulating beams. Some example applications include:

• Convolution and deconvolution

• Unit conversion (Jy to/from K)

• Handle sets of beams for spectral cubes with varying resolution between channels

• Find the smallest common beam from a set of beams

• Add the beam shape to a matplotlib plot

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

In EyE an artificial neural network connected to pixels of a moving window (retina) is trained to associate these input stimuli to the corresponding response in one or several output image(s). The resulting filter can be loaded in SExtractor to operate complex, wildly non-linear filters on astronomical images. Typical applications of EyE include adaptive filtering, feature detection and cosmetic corrections.

healpy is a Python package to handle pixelated data on the sphere. It is based on the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization (HEALPix) scheme and builds with the HEALPix C++ library.

Python library doing sunrise and sunset time calculation. Takes a WGS84 (GPS) latitude/longitude as input as well as an UTC or local datetime object.

ZodiPy is an package for simulating zodiacal light in intensity for arbitrary solar system observers.

This package provides an astronomical Python package with image processing functions: xyxymatch, geomap.

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.

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

CFITSIO provides simple high-level routines for reading and writing Flexible Image Transport System files that insulate the programmer from the internal complexities of the FITS format. CFITSIO also provides many advanced features for manipulating and filtering the information in FITS files.

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

European Southern Observatory Data Processing System EDPS is a system to automatically organise data from ESO instruments for pipeline processing and running the pipeline on these data. It is used for quality control at ESO. The current public release is a beta version without a GUI. A GUI is being developed and the system is meant to eventually replace the older EsoReflex environment.

spacetrack is a python module for Space-Track which promotes space flight safety, protection of the space environment and the peaceful use of space worldwide by sharing space situational awareness services and information with international satellite owners/operators, academia and other entities.

This package provides a set of tools for the modelling of magnetic field data. It is a SunPy affiliated package and is built on top of sunpy and astropy.

This package provides a sunpy FIDO plugin for accessing data in the Solar Orbiter Archive.

This package provides general tools for astronomical time series in Python.

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.

Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application. It can track a large number of satellites and display their position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and polar plots (radar view). Gpredict can also predict the time of future passes for a satellite, and provide you with detailed information about each pass.

Some core features of Gpredict include:

• Tracking of a large number of satellites only limited by the physical memory and processing power of the computer

• Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any combination of these

• Have many modules open at the same either in a notebook or in their own windows. The modules can also run in full-screen mode

• You can use many ground stations

• Predict upcoming passes

• Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and backward), and manual time control

• Detailed information both the real time and non-real time modes

• Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld

• Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld
