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.

This package provides an image processing toolbox for Solar Physics.

SEP makes the core algorithms of sextractor available as a library of stand-alone functions and classes. These operate directly on in-memory arrays (no FITS files or configuration files). The code is derived from the Source Extractor code base (written in C) and aims to produce results compatible with Source Extractor whenever possible. SEP consists of a C library with no dependencies outside the standard library, and a Python module that wraps the C library in a Pythonic API. The Python wrapper operates on NumPy arrays with NumPy as its only dependency.

The Python Satellite Data Analysis Toolkit (pysat) provides a simple and flexible interface for robust data analysis from beginning to end - including downloading, loading, cleaning, managing, processing, and analyzing data. Pysat's plug-in design allows analysis support for any data, including user provided data sets.

HEALPix of a sphere produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel. This package provides the dynamic library for the C++ language implementation of HEALPix.

Python read-only implementation of the EventIO file format.

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

INDI (Instrument-Neutral Device Interface) is a distributed XML-based control protocol designed to operate astronomical instrumentation. INDI is small, flexible, easy to parse, scalable, and stateless. It supports common DCS functions such as remote control, data acquisition, monitoring, and a lot more.

PyERFA is the Python wrapper for the ERFA library (Essential Routines for Fundamental Astronomy), a C library containing key algorithms for astronomy, which is based on the SOFA library published by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). All C routines are wrapped as Numpy universal functions, so that they can be called with scalar or array inputs.

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

Skyfield computes positions for the stars, planets, and satellites in orbit around the Earth.

This package provides a range of colormaps designed for scientific use with Matplotlib. It includes perceptually uniform sequential colormaps such as abre, dusk, kepl, and octarine, as well as monochromatic sequential colormaps like blue, green, and red, and others (algae, pastel, and xray).

This package implements a funtionality for hierarchical analysis of strong lensing systems to infer lens properties and cosmological parameters simultaneously. It allows to fit lenses with measured time delays, imaging information, kinematics constraints and standardizable magnifications with parameters described on the ensemble level.

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.

Multidimensional data visualization across files.

Package Raccoon cleans the "wiggles" (i.e., low-frequency sinusoidal artifacts) in the JWST-NIRSpec IFS (integral field spectroscopy) data. These wiggles are caused by resampling noise or aliasing artifacts.

RAD is package which defines schemas for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope shared attributes for processing and archive. These schemas are schemas for the ASDF file file format, which are used by ASDF to serialize and deserialize data for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

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.

This package provides shared libraries to interface Pascal program with standard astronomy libraries:

• libpasgetdss.so: Interface with GetDSS to work with DSS images.

• libpasplan404.so: Interface with Plan404 to compute planets position.

• libpaswcs.so: Interface with libwcs to work with FITS WCS.

• libpasspice.so: To work with NAIF/SPICE kernel.

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.

Stellarium is a planetarium. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope. It can be used to control telescopes over a serial port for tracking celestial objects.

Python Tools for HST ACS (Advanced Camera for Surveys) Data.

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 an alternative maintained fork of SEP python library with bug fixtures.
