▾	aoflagger-dev	3.4.0-3	Find RFI in radio astronomical observations (development files)
aoflagger-dev: Find RFI in radio astronomical observations (development files) Description The AOFlagger is a tool that can find and remove radio-frequency interference (RFI) in radio astronomical observations. The code has been highly optimized for speed and accuracy. It is used by default for the LOFAR radio telescope and thus is in productional stage. The software can run in a fully automated way, but a graphical interface is provided to analyse results and tweak the strategy. The preferred input file format is the Casa Measurement Set (MS) format. This package contains the header file to compile own programs against the library. Reference A. R. Offringa, A.

▾	libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl	1.15-1	Perl extension for using the cfitsio library
libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl: Perl extension for using the cfitsio library Description Astro::Fits::Cfitsio is a Perl interface to William Pence's cfitsio subroutine library. For more information on cfitsio, see http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio. This module attempts to provide a wrapper for nearly every cfitsio routine, while retaining as much cfitsio behavior as possible. As such, one should be aware that it is still somewhat low-level, in the sense that handing an array which is not the correct size to a routine like fits_write_img() may cause SIGSEGVs. The goal is to eventually use these routines to build a more Perl-like interface to many common tasks such as reading and writing of images and ASCII and binary tables.

▾	libcpl-dev	7.3.2+ds-1	ESO library for automated astronomical data-reduction
libcpl-dev: ESO library for automated astronomical data-reduction Description The Common Pipeline Library (CPL) comprises a set of ISO-C libraries that provide a comprehensive, efficient and robust software toolkit. It forms a basis for the creation of automated astronomical data-reduction tasks (known as "pipelines"). The CPL was developed to standardise the way instrument pipelines are built, to shorten their development cycle and to ease their maintenance. However, it may be more generally applied to any similar application, and the details of the CPL code have been engineered in a way to make the library portable and flexible, as well as minimising external dependencies. The CPL provides a host of functionality, presented in a clear, generic and uniform manner. Among its many features, the CPL offers: many useful low-level data types (images, tables, matrices, strings, property lists, ...), many fundamental statistic, arithmetic and conversion operations for these data types. medium-level data access methods (e.g. a data abstraction layer for FITS files), data table organisation and manipulation, keyword/value handling and management, a standardised application interface for pipeline recipes, and, support for dynamic loading of recipe modules. Despite the current bias towards instrument pipeline development, the library also provides a variety of general-purpose image- and signal-processing functions, making it an excellent framework for the creation of more generic data-handling packages. This package contains the static library and the C header files. Reference K. Banse, P. Ballester, C. Izzo, Y. Jung, L. K. Lundin, D. J. McKay, A. Modigliani, R. M. Palsa, M. Kiesgen and C.

▾	libstarlink-ast-dev	9.2.10+dfsg-3	Handle World Coordinate Systems in Astronomy (development package)
libstarlink-ast-dev: Handle World Coordinate Systems in Astronomy (development package) Description AST implements an object oriented model for describing physical coordinate systems, and the transformations that exist between them. It provides a comprehensive range of facilities for attaching world coordinate systems (WCS) to astronomical data and for retrieving and manipulating that information. It has built-in intelligence for identifying types of celestial, spectral, time and other coordinate systems (including compound systems that combine axes of different types) and determining how to transform between them. This allows general purpose code to be written that makes no assumptions about the nature of the coordinate systems. This package contains the files needed for development. Reference David S.

libwcstools-dev: Handle the WCS of a FITS image (development files) Description WCSTools is a set of software utilities, written in C, which create, display and manipulate the world coordinate system of a FITS or IRAF image, using specific keywords in the image header which relate pixel position within the image to position on the sky. Auxiliary programs search star catalogs and manipulate images. This package contains the files needed for development. Reference Mink, Douglas J.: WCSTools: an Image Astrometry Toolkit.

▾	voro++-dev	0.5+revert-to-0.4.6+dfsg1-1	library for the computation of the Voronoi diagram (dev files)
voro++-dev: library for the computation of the Voronoi diagram (dev files) Description Voro++ is a software library for carrying out three-dimensional computations of the Voronoi tessellation. A distinguishing feature of the Voro++ library is that it carries out cell-based calculations, computing the Voronoi cell for each particle individually. It is particularly well-suited for applications that rely on cell-based statistics, where features of Voronoi cells (eg. volume, centroid, number of faces) can be used to analyze a system of particles. This package contains the static library and header file to compile programs against the library. Reference Rycroft, C.H.: Voro++: A three-dimensional Voronoi cell library in C++.

wcslib-dev: Header files and static library for wcslib and pgsbox Description WCSLIB is a C library, supplied with a full set of Fortran wrappers, that implements the "World Coordinate System" (WCS) standard in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System). PGSBOX draws and labels a curvilinear coordinate grid. The caller must provide a separate external function, NLFUNC, to define the non-linear coordinate transformation.

▾	wsclean-dev	3.6-3	Fast generic widefield interferometric imager (development files)
wsclean-dev: Fast generic widefield interferometric imager (development files) Description WSClean (w-stacking clean) is a fast generic widefield imager. It uses the w-stacking algorithm and can make use of the w-snapshot algorithm. As of Feb 2014, it is 2-12 times faster than CASA's w-projection, depending on the array configuration. It supports full-sky imaging and proper beam correction for homogeneous dipole arrays such as the MWA. WSClean allows Hogbom and Cotton-Schwab cleaning, and can clean polarizations joinedly. All operations are performed on the CPU (it is not specialized for GPUs). This package contains the static library and the header file to compile own programs against the library. Reference A. R.
