Open Source IDL Physics Software

NOTICE: PROPER will stop being supported at the end of 2026. It will remain available on Sourceforge after that, but there will be no updates or bug fixes. PROPER is a library of routines for the propagation of wavefronts through an optical system using Fourier-based methods. It was developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for modeling stellar coronagraphs, but it can be applied to other optical systems were diffraction propagation is of concern. It is currently available for IDL (Interactive Data Language), Matlab and Python (3.x). It includes routines for generating complex apertures and obscurations and aberrations (Zernike & PSD-defined). It includes a model of a deformable mirror for wavefront control. The routines perform near and far field propagation with automatic selection of propagators. The latest version is v3.3.5.

DAVE is an integrated environment for the reduction, visualization and analysis of inelastic neutron scattering (scientific) data. It is built with IDL from Research Systems, Inc. DAVE is fully supported on Linux, Windows and MacOS X.

*************************************************************** ********** IRBEM-LIB WAS MOVED TO GITHUB ********** ********** https://github.com/PRBEM ********************* *************************************************************** IRBEM-LIB provides routines to compute magnetic coordinates for any location in the Earth's magnetic field, to perform coordinate conversions, to evaluate geophysics/space-physics models, and to propagate orbits in time.

Contains tools and executables for performing isoline retrieval as described in the paper: Peter Mills (2009) "Isoline retrieval: An optimal method for validation of advected contours." Computers & Geoscience, 35 (11); 2020-2031.

The aim of this project is to facilitate the development of open source software for the acceptance testing of commonly used PET (positron emission tomography) systems in accordance with published NEMA standards.

A bunch of miscillaneous scientific simulation projects not important enough to have their own project. Includes Gaspard-Rice chaotic scattering simulation, sea ice emissivity modelling, IDL library and any others I create or find kicking around.

This is a set of spectral models for use in the astronomical X-ray spectral modeling program XSPEC. The models calculate X-ray emission line Doppler profiles from the winds of OB stars.
