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.

Tempo2 is a pulsar timing package, based on the old FORTRAN TEMPO code to address some shortcomings in that code for high precision pulsar timing. See related paper https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006MNRAS.369..655H/abstract.

This package provides data content for Celestia.

• Scientific Data Base

• Texture maps

• 3D Models

Astroquery is a package that contains a collection of tools to access online Astronomical data. Each web service has its own sub-package.

Multidimensional data visualization across files.

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.

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

SpacePy is a package for Python, targeted at the space sciences, that aims to make basic data analysis, modeling and visualization easier. It builds on the capabilities of NumPy and MatPlotLib packages.

SPISEA is an python package that generates single-age, single-metallicity populations (i.e. star clusters). It gives the user control over many parameters:

• cluster characteristics (age, metallicity, mass, distance)

• total extinction, differential extinction, and extinction law

• stellar evolution and atmosphere models

• stellar multiplicity and Initial Mass Function

• initial-Final Mass Relation

• photometric filters

Colossus is a Python toolkit for calculations pertaining to cosmology, the large-scale structure of the universe, and the properties of dark matter halos.

POPPY is a Python package that simulates physical optical propagation including diffraction. It implements a flexible framework for modeling Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction and point spread function formation, particularly in the context of astronomical telescopes.

POPPY was developed as part of a simulation package for the James Webb Space Telescope, but is more broadly applicable to many kinds of imaging simulations. It is not, however, a substitute for high fidelity optical design software such as Zemax or Code V, but rather is intended as a lightweight alternative for cases for which diffractive rather than geometric optics is the topic of interest, and which require portability between platforms or ease of scripting.

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.

Python implementation of Parker wind models for planetary atmospheres. p-winds produces simplified, 1-D models of the upper atmosphere of a planet, and perform radiative transfer to calculate observable spectral signatures.

The scalable implementation of 1D models allows for atmospheric retrievals to calculate atmospheric escape rates and temperatures. In addition, the modular implementation allows for a smooth plugging-in of more complex descriptions to forward model their corresponding spectral signatures (e.g., self-consistent or 3D models).

This package provides a functionality to reproject astronomical images using various techniques via a uniform interface, where reprojection is the re-gridding of images from one world coordinate system to another e.g. changing the pixel resolution, orientation, coordinate system.

This package provides facilities for reading various formats used to store snapshots, group catalogues and merger trees in Virgo Consortium simulations, including older binary formats which can otherwise be difficult to deal with.

It also provides a collection of MPI parallel algorithms which can be useful for dealing with particle data and a few related utility functions.

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.

The casacore package contains the core libraries of the old AIPS++/CASA (Common Astronomy Software Application) package. This split was made to get a better separation of core libraries and applications. CASA is now built on top of Casacore.

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

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

Orbital is a high level orbital mechanics package for Python.

This package provides a Python CDF reader toolkit.

It provides the following functionality:

• Ability to read variables and attributes from CDF files

• Writes CDF version 3 files

• Can convert between CDF time types (EPOCH/EPOCH16/TT2000) to other common time formats

• Can convert CDF files into XArray Dataset objects and vice versa, attempting to maintain ISTP compliance

ChiantiPy is the Python interface to the CHIANTI atomic database for astrophysical spectroscopy. It provides the capability to calculate the emission line and continuum spectrum of an optically thin plasma based on the data in the CHIANTI database.

This package provides an image processing toolbox for Solar Physics.

Provides DataModel, which is the base class for data models implemented in the JWST and Roman calibration software.
