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.

The DKIST package aims to help you search, obtain and use DKIST data as part of your Python software.

Tempo analyzes pulsar timing data. Pulse times of arrival (TOAs), pulsar model parameters, and coded instructions are read from one or more input files. The TOAs are fitted by a pulse timing model incorporating transformation to the solar-system barycenter, pulsar rotation and spin-down and, where necessary, one of several binary models. Program output includes parameter values and uncertainties, residual pulse arrival times, chi-squared statistics, and the covariance matrix of the model. In prediction mode,ephemerides of pulse phase behavior (in the form of polynomial expansions) are calculated from input timing models.

skyfield computes positions for the stars, planets, and satellites in orbit around the Earth. Its results should agree with the positions generated by the United States Naval Observatory and their Astronomical Almanac to within 0.0005 arcseconds (half a mas or milliarcsecond).

This package provides a Python implementation for computations of the position and velocity of an earth-orbiting satellite, given the satellite’s TLE orbital elements from a source like https://celestrak.org/.

It implements the most recent version of SGP4, and is regularly run against the SGP4 test suite to make sure that its satellite position predictions agree to within 0.1 mm with the predictions of the standard distribution of the algorithm. This error is far less than the 1–3 km/day by which satellites themselves deviate from the ideal orbits described in TLE files.

SunPy is package for solar physics and is meant to be a free alternative to the SolarSoft data analysis environment.

The CALCEPH Library is designed to access the binary planetary ephemeris files, such INPOPxx and JPL DExxx ephemeris files, (called original JPL binary or INPOP 2.0 or 3.0 binary ephemeris files in the next sections) and the SPICE kernel files (called SPICE ephemeris files in the next sections). At the moment, supported SPICE files are:

• text Planetary Constants Kernel (KPL/PCK) files;

• binary PCK (DAF/PCK) files;

• binary SPK (DAF/SPK) files containing segments of type 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 102, 103 and 120;

• meta kernel (KPL/MK) files;

• frame kernel (KPL/FK) files (only basic support).

CZML3 is a Python library to write CZML, a JSON format for describing a time-dynamic graphical scene, primarily for display in a web browser running Cesium.

CalcMySky is a software package that simulates scattering of light by the atmosphere to render daytime and twilight skies (without stars). Its primary purpose is to enable realistic view of the sky in applications such as planetaria. Secondary objective is to make it possible to explore atmospheric effects such as glories, fogbows etc., as well as simulate unusual environments such as on Mars or an exoplanet orbiting a star with a non-solar spectrum of radiation.

This package consists of three parts:

• calcmysky utility that does the precomputation of the atmosphere model to enable rendering.

• libShowMySky library that lets the applications render the atmosphere model.

• ShowMySky preview GUI that makes it possible to preview the rendering of the atmosphere model and examine its properties.

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 provides a replacement for IRAF STSDAS SYNPHOT and ASTROLIB PYSYNPHOT, utilizing Astropy and covering the non-instrument specific portions of the old packages.

MissFITS is a program that performs basic maintenance and packaging tasks on FITS files:

• add/edit FITS header keywords

• split/join MEF files

• unpack/pack FITS data-cubes

• create/check/update FITS checksums, using R. Seaman's protocol

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).

PyVO is a package providing access to remote data and services of the Virtual observatory (VO) using Python.

This package consists of Python replacements for functions that are part of the IDL built-in library or part of astronomical IDL libraries. The emphasis is on reproducing results of the astronomical library functions. Only the bare minimum of IDL built-in functions are implemented to support this.

ImPPG performs Lucy-Richardson deconvolution, unsharp masking, brightness normalization and tone curve adjustment. It can also apply previously specified processing settings to multiple images. All operations are performed using 32-bit floating-point arithmetic.

Supported input formats: FITS, BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF (most of bit depths and compression methods), TGA and more. Images are processed in grayscale and can be saved as: BMP 8-bit; PNG 8-bit; TIFF 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit floating-point (no compression, LZW- or ZIP-compressed), FITS 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit floating-point.

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.

aiapy is a Python package for analyzing data from the AIA instrument onboard NASA's SDO spacecraft.

This package provides astronomical interstellar dust extinction curves implemented using the astropy.modeling framework.

This package provides an astronomical image processing tool - SIRIL. It is specially tailored for noise reduction and improving the signal/noise ratio of an image from multiple captures, as required in astronomy. SIRIL can align automatically or manually, stack and enhance pictures from various file formats, even image sequence files (films and SER files). It works well with limited system resources, like in embedded platforms, but is also very fast when run on more powerful computers and provides conversion to FITS from a large number of image formats.
