Application for data reduction using the 1.6 m telescope Perkin-Elmer and the spectrograph cassegrain

PyXPA is a Python interface to the XPA library (http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/xpa/ developed by the SAO/HEAD R&D Group (http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/)).

Pysolar is a Python library for calculating the position of the sun relative to the earth as a function of latitude, longitude, and time. There is also code included for other problems related to the development of photovoltaic systems. Still in alpha.

Python Arrays is a project to reimplement the existing Python Numeric module which adds the ability to efficiently manipulate large numeric arrays in ways similar to Matlab and IDL.

RTS2 is project to create an open source environment for control of a fully autonomous observatory. It is running about dozen fully autonomous observatories. Its modular design allow easily addition of new devices (to already huge supported HW list).

python, SExtractor. A python module to read, write and manage SExtractor catalogs.

Sparrow is a package for single-dish astronomical data-reduction developed by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.

As of August 2018 Spheral++ has moved to Github -- please see the current repository at https://github.com/jmikeowen/spheral We are leaving a frozen version here on SourceForge for historical reasons. Spheral++ provides a steerable parallel environment for performing coupled hydrodynamical & gravitational numerical simulations. Hydrodynamics and gravity are modelled using particle based methods (SPH and N-Body).

See original code here: https://github.com/jakeret/tf_unet Currently this project is based on Tensorflow 1.13 code base and there are no plans to transfer to TF version 2. The primary improvements to this code base include a training and evaluation framework, along with a fusion based approach to detection, combining a number of models (currently hard coded to two trained models) along with Sum Threshold as an additional "expert." Additional work is being done to add custom layers to this model for further experimentation, including Squeeze/Excitation layers (unimplemented.) Sum Threshold (in fusion as an expert, and in testing as a comparison) requires the use of AOFlagger by Andre Offringa. You can find this code at https://gitlab.com/aroffringa/aoflagger. This project will use the aoflagger program within the code, so you may need to ensure that any environment variables are set for aoflagger before use. cite: https://sourceforge.net/p/u-net-fusion-rfi/wiki/cite/

This project is an initial reference implementation of the VSI-E protocol. The implementation has been done using the C/C++ language and is in the form of a re-useable library developed on the Linux platform.

VOMON (Virtual Observatory Monitor) is a web application that can be configured to watch your virtual observatory services. It is a mashup of the AstroRuntime and the MARS network monitor.

Astronomical library for photometric distances calculation. Implemented different extinction models. Pure Python inside.

AStro inFER - a rule miner and executer

This project contains a set of python scripts to perform SExtractor galaxy photometry simulations. It uses Galfit to simulate the galaxies and SExtractor for the photometry. It is defined to be used also with distributed computing and with Condor. No very well documented yet. Developed for my PhD.

*WARNING* gtburst moved to github (https://github.com/giacomov/gtburst). ########################################## gtBurst is a tool to download data, analyze and simulate Gamma-ray Bursts and Solar Flares as observed by the NASA Fermi satellite.

Tokenizer and translator for the IDL language, principally used with the IDL environment from ITTVis and GDL.

imbatcher is an image batcher and rfl Registax Frame List creator that use an Mean Square Difference algorithm to separate images from the same set automatically .

klathon is an environment in which you can switch between the two languages: Python and CLASS (CLASS is a famous software for astronomy). You can program in one language and switch to the other halfway, thus heavily enhance CLASS's controlling ability.

La P.A.P.A. (Python Alternative for Programming Astrophysics) want to give an alternative to the astrophysicists (and any one that use RSI-IDL) for start programming in Python using similar functions as IDL and at the same time learn the power of Python.

openSkyMatch is a collection of Linux shell and Python scripts designed for the OpenScience Observatories program. It automates the identification and matching of detected celestial objects in locally captured FITS images with entries in large-scale sky catalogs, notably Pan-STARRS1 DR2 (II/389/ps1_dr2). The toolkit supports data preprocessing, coordinate correlation, and catalog-based validation of astronomical detections. All tools are open-source and optimized for reproducibility and transparency in citizen science astronomy.

Python package for calculation right ascension, declination, and distance for solar system planets.
