The glue-astronomy plugin for glue provides a collection of astronomy-specific functionality

This package provides a flexible toolbox for observation planning and scheduling. When complete, the goal is to be easy for Python beginners and new observers to to pick up, but powerful enough for observatories preparing nightly and long-term schedules.

Features:

• calculate rise/set/meridian transit times, alt/az positions for targets at observatories anywhere on Earth

• built-in plotting convenience functions for standard observation planning plots (airmass, parallactic angle, sky maps)

• determining observability of sets of targets given an arbitrary set of constraints (i.e., altitude, airmass, moon separation/illumination, etc.)

Astronify is a Python package for sonifying astronomical data - turning telescope observations into sound.

SWIFTGalaxy is an astrophysics module that extends SWIFTSimIO tailored to analyses of particles belonging to individual galaxies simulated with SWIFT. It inherits from and extends the functionality of the SWIFTDataset. It understands the content of halo catalogues (supported: Velociraptor, Caesar, SOAP) and therefore which particles belong to a galaxy or other group of particles, and its integrated properties. The particles occupy a coordinate frame that is enforced to be consistent, such that particles loaded on-the-fly will match e.g. rotations and translations of particles already in memory. Intuitive masking of particle datasets is also enabled. Utilities to make working in cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems more convenient are also provided. Finally, tools to iterate efficiently over multiple galaxies are also provided.

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.

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

Software for Calibrating AstroMetry and Photometry is a software that computes astrometric projection parameters from source catalogues derived from FITS images. The computed solution is expressed according to the WCS standard. The main features of SCAMP are:

• compatibility with SExtractor FITS or Multi-Extension FITS catalogue format in input

• generation of WCS-compliant and SWarp-compatible FITS image headers in output

• automatic grouping of catalogues on the sky

• selectable on-line astrometric reference catalogue

• automatic determination of scale, position angle, flipping and coordinate shift using fast pattern-matching

• various astrometric calibration modes for single detectors and detector arrays

• combined astrometric solutions for multi-channel/instrument surveys

• highly configurable astrometric distortion polynomials

• correction for differential chromatic refraction

• proper motion measurements

• multi-threaded code that takes advantage of multiple processors

• VOTable-compliant XML output of meta-data

• XSLT filter sheet provided for convenient access to metadata from a regular web browser

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.

CRDS is a package used for working with astronomical reference files for the HST and JWST telescopes. CRDS is useful for performing various operations on reference files or reference file assignment rules. CRDS is used to assign, check, and compare reference files and rules, and also to predict those datasets which should potentially be reprocessed due to changes in reference files or assignment rules. CRDS has versioned rules which define the assignment of references for each type and instrument configuration. CRDS has web sites corresponding to each project http://hst-crds.stsci.edu or https://jwst-crds.stsci.edu/ which record information about reference files and provide related services.

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

This package provides a Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg implementation in Java of the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere tessellation.

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.

ebtelplusplus is an implementation of the enthalpy-based thermal evolution of loops (EBTEL) model for doing efficient hydrodynamics of dynamically-heated solar coronal loops. ebtelplusplus decouples the electron and ion energy equations such that the two populations can evolve separately. This implementation also includes effects to due to cross-sectional area expansion.

BayesicFitting is a package for model fitting and Bayesian evidence calculation, it is a Python version of the the fitter classes in HCSS. HCSS was the all encompassing software system for the operations and analysis of the ESA satellite Herschel.

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

XRTpy is a Python package being developed for the analysis of observations made by the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on the Hinode spacecraft.

The package statmorph implements functionality of calculating non-parametric morphological diagnostics of galaxy images (e.g., Gini-M_20 and CAS statistics), as well as fitting 2D Sérsic profiles.

astrodata is a package for managing astronomical data through a uniform interface. It is designed to be used with the Astropy package. astrodata was created for use as part of the DRAGONS data reduction pipeline, but it is now implemented to be useful for any astronomical data reduction or analysis project.

Unlike managing files using the astropy.io.fits package alone, astrodata is designed to be extendible to any data format, and to parse, respond to, and store metadata in a consistent, intentional way. This makes it especially useful for managing data from multiple instruments, telescopes, and data generation utilities.

radiospectra provides support for some type of radio spectra in solar physics.

Stuff is a program that simulates "perfect" astronomical catalogues. It generates object lists in ASCII which can read by the SkyMaker program to produce realistic astronomical fields. Stuff is part of the EFIGI development project.
