pyregion is a python module to parse ds9 region files. It also supports ciao region files. Features:

• ds9 and ciao region files.

• (physical, WCS) coordinate conversion to the image coordinate.

• convert regions to matplotlib patches.

• convert regions to spatial filter (i.e., generate mask images)

The mpl_animators package provides a set of classes which allow the easy construction of interactive matplotlib widget based animations.

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.

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 HEALPix to the Astropy project.

This package implements a functionality to produce map based simulations for the Simons Observatory or other CMB experiments. It creates simulated maps in HEALPix and CAR pixelization based on:

• foreground models included in PySM

• custom foregrounds models from the so_pysm_models package

• precomputed Cosmic Microwave Background simulations

• noise simulations based on expected performance and simulated hitmaps

• effect of gaussian beam convolution

This package provides source-only AOCommon collection of functionality that is reused in several astronomical applications, such as wsclean, aoflagger, DP3 and everybeam.

This package provides ASDF schemas for validating transform tags. Users should not need to install this directly; instead, install an implementation package such as asdf-astropy.

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.

Pynbody is an analysis framework for N-body and hydrodynamic astrophysical simulations supporting PKDGRAV/Gasoline, Gadget, Gadget4/Arepo, N-Chilada and RAMSES AMR outputs.

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.

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 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.).

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.

SOXS is a software suite which can create simulated X-ray observations of astrophysical sources with almost any existing or planned X-ray observatory. The goal of SOXS is to provide a comprehensive set of tools to design source models and convolve them with simulated models of X-ray instruments. This package was originally developed to support the Lynx X-ray Observatory mission concept, but has evolved to support other missions as well.

PyEsoRex is a command line tool which can serve as a drop-in replacement of EsoRex, which can execute both, existing pipeline recipes implemented using the Common Pipeline Library C API, and recipes implemented using the PyCPL Python API.

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

Python read-only implementation of the EventIO file format.

This package provides a tool to create Calibration References Data System-formatted reference files for James Webb Space Telescope from a set of input dark current files and a set of flat field files.

This package provides a set of Python modules for producing simple plots, statistics, common calculations, coordinate conversions, and manipulating FITS images with World Coordinate System (WCS) information.

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.

PINT is not TEMPO3 - package providing a Pulsar Timing, written in Python from scratch. Features:

• a robust system to produce high-precision timing results that is completely independent of TEMPO and Tempo2

• a system that is easy to extend and modify due to a good design and the use of a modern programming language, techniques, and libraries

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.

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.
