Open Source Mathematica Astronomy Software

SENSITIZER is an ESO software toolset written in Matlab and Mathematica aiming at automating some Structural/Thermal/Optical Performance (STOP) sensitivity analyses with Zemax OpticStudio (ZOS). The core code of SENSITIZER runs in MATLAB and drives ZOS in the background through the ZOS-API interface, based on .NET. The output is saved in the MATLAB file format and can be post-processed using MATLAB and/or Mathematica routines. The optical system to analyze is defined in a normal Zemax lens file. The core data structure of SENSITIZER is an optical group, which can be any optical surface in the lens file or a set of subsequent surfaces. These groups will be perturbed by varying their positions relative to the rest of the system (rigid-body-motions) and/or by adding Zernike shape deformations on their front surface. After a certain perturbation is applied, ZOS runs (sequential) raytracing to compute the optical performance such as centroid displacement or wavefront error.

extra astronomical / calendar / epoch features that mathematica does not have. has many new functions. supports multiple calendars (julian, gregorian, synodic, anomalistic). supports JDN conveniently, shows moon phase est. NEW: supports day number from 0 of any calendar conversion all-way between supported calendars supports multiple epochs and epoch generation. convert between some epochs without calendar support, ie, J2000.0, JDN, to some effect can create/import epochs and use TAI clock << Months`Months` {PrettyDate[], PrettyDate[calendarChange2[Date[], gregorian, julian], julian], MoonPhase[]} {"Sunday, July 13 2014. 2:37:04 p.m. -4 GMT", "Saturday, Iunius 30 2014. 2:37:04 p.m. -4 GMT", "Full Moon"} timeDeduce, a minor extra: deduce and show other times / angles, using time eqn. input: GMT,lon,tz,arieslon output: input + SHA,Ra,LHA ; in dn,tm or ang (for historic reasons files are also in https://sourceforge.net/projects/periodictablemm/)

Orbits is a Mathematica package to handle Keplerian and perturbed orbits in an easy and flexible way. It has been created to use in an educational environment.
