#AstroJava #AstronomySoftware #ScienceSoftware

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is skyview-java. SkyView is a "virtual" observatory dynamically generating images of the sky in different wavelength regimes from a static image database. SkyView is intended as a quick look facility to see the heavens.

This package includes the Java library.

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-reproject. This is a package to reproject astronomical images using various techniques via a uniform interface. Reprojection means the re-gridding of images from one world coordinate system to another (for example changing the pixel resolution, orientation, coordinate system). Currently implemented are reprojection of celestial images by interpolation, as well as by finding the exact

#DataViewer #AstronomySoftware #ScienceSoftware

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is imagej. It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw". It supports "stacks", a series of images that share a single window.

It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections. It can measure distances and angles.

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-pyavm. PyAVM is a module to represent, read, and write metadata following the Astronomy Visualization Metadata (AVM) standard. With pyavm you can:

* Parse AVM meta-data from an existing image.
* Access and Set the metadata.
* Create an AVM object from scratch.
* Convert to a WCS object.
* Initialize from a FITS header.
* Initialize from a WCS object.

🚀 ¡Nuevo proyecto en GitHub!
🔗 https://github.com/RubenFS777/Trayector
Trayector es un programa en #Python para visualizar trayectorias de sondas y misiones espaciales usando datos del sistema Horizons del JPL de la NASA.
Incluye ejemplo con la misión #ArtemisII: descarga los vectores efemérides directamente desde https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons y visualiza el viaje lunar paso a paso.

🚀 New open-source project on GitHub! Trayector is a #Python tool to visualize trajectories of space probes and missions using ephemeris data from NASA's JPL Horizons system.
Comes with a ready-to-use example for the #ArtemisII mission — just download the vector table from JPL and plot the lunar journey in minutes.

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-ephem. PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision astronomy computations. The underlying numeric routines are coded in C and are the same ones that drive the popular XEphem astronomy application, whose author, Elwood Charles Downey, generously gave permission for their use in PyEphem.

The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is the traditional

#GnuDataLanguage #AstronomySoftware #ScienceSoftware

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is gdl-astrolib. The IDL Astronomy Users Library is a central repository for low-level astronomy software written in the GNU Data Language (GDL). The library is not meant to be an integrated package, but rather is a collection of procedures from which users can pick and choose (and possibly modify) for their own use. Submitted procedures are given a cursory testing, but are basically stored

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-vispy. Vispy is a high-performance interactive 2D/3D data visualization library.

Vispy leverages the computational power of modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) through the OpenGL library to display very large datasets.

This package provides VisPy for the Python 3 interpreter.
