Debian Astro AstroConda packages

IRAF is the "Image Reduction and Analysis Facility". The main IRAF distribution includes a good selection of programs for general image processing and graphics.

Other external or layered packages are available for applications such as data acquisition or handling data from other observatories and wavelength regimes such as the Hubble Space Telescope (optical), EUVE (extreme ultra-violet), or ROSAT and AXAF (X-ray). These external packages are distributed separately from the main IRAF distribution but can be easily installed. The IRAF system also the programmable Command Language scripting facility.

Depending on your system (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows), you have to use different directories for storing user data. appdirs will help you choose an appropriate:

• user data directory (user_data_dir function)
• user config directory (user_config_dir function)
• user cache directory (user_cache_dir function)
• site data directory (site_data_dir function)
• site config directory (site_config_dir function)
• user log directory (user_log_dir function)

On Linux systems, these function return directories based on the XDG Base Directory Specification.

This is the Python 3 version of the package.

PyRAF is a command language for running IRAF tasks in a Python like environment. It works very similar to IRAF CL, but has been updated to allow such things as importing Python modules, GUI parameter editing and help. It can be imported into Python allowing you to run IRAF commands from within a larger script.

pysynphot simulates photometric data and spectra as they are observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Passbands for standard photometric systems are available, and users can incorporate their own filters, spectra, and data. pysynphot user interface allows you to:

• Construct complicated composite spectra from various grids of model atmosphere spectra, parameterized spectrum models, and atlases of stellar spectrophotometry.
• Simulate observations.
• Query the resulting structures for quantities of interest, such as countrate, effective wavelength, effective stimulus, as well as the wavelength and flux arrays.
• Plot HST sensitivity curves and calibration target spectra.
• Compute photometric calibration parameters for any HST instrument mode.

pysynphot can help HST observers to perform cross-instrument simulations, to examine the transmission curve of the HST Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA), and spectra of HST calibration targets. Expert users can take advantage of the control and data structures available in Python to easily perform repetitive operations such as simulate the observation of multiple type of sources through multiple observing modes.

SciPy supplements the popular NumPy module (python-numpy package), gathering a variety of high level science and engineering modules together as a single package.

SciPy is a set of Open Source scientific and numeric tools for Python. It currently supports special functions, integration, ordinary differential equation (ODE) solvers, gradient optimization, genetic algorithms, parallel programming tools, an expression-to-C++ compiler for fast execution, and others.

POPPY (Physical Optics Propagation in PYthon) simulates physical optical propagation including diffraction. It implements a flexible framework for modeling Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction and point spread function formation, particularly in the context of astronomical telescopes. POPPY provides the optical modeling framework for WebbPSF (ascl:1504.007) and was developed as part of a simulation package for JWST, but is available separately and is broadly applicable to many kinds of imaging simulations.

RELIC stands for "Release I Control". This software attempts to automatically maintain a git project's version information without the need for hardcoded values in the source code. It is designed primarily for hardcore build maintainers, and is best used with continuous integration services (i.e Travis-CI, etc).

Specview is a tool for 1-D spectral visualization and analysis of astronomical spectrograms. Written in Java, it is capable of reading all the Hubble Space Telescope spectral data formats as well as data from several other instruments (such as IUE, FUSE, ISO, FORS and SDSS), preview spectra from MAST, and data from generic FITS and ASCII tables. It can read data from Virtual Observatory servers, and read and write spectrogram data in Virtual Observatory SED format. It can also read files in the SPC Galactic format used in the chemistry field. Once ingested, data can be plotted and examined with a large selection of custom settings. Specview supports instrument-specific data quality handling, flexible spectral units conversions, custom plotting attributes, plot annotations, tiled plots, hardcopy to JPEG files and PostScript file or printer, etc. Specview can be used to build wide-band SEDs, overplotting or combining data from the same astronomical source taken with different instruments and/or spectral bands. Data can be further processed with averaging, splicing, detrending, and Fourier filtering tools. Specview has a spectral model fitting capability that enables the user to work with multi-component models (including user- defined models) and fit models to data.
