Debian Astro Development packages

The casacore package contains the core libraries of the old AIPS++/CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) package. This split was made to get a better separation of core libraries and applications.

This package contains the files for application development.

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.

FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a data format most used in astronomy. cfitsio is a library of ANSI C routines for reading and writing FITS format data files. A set of Fortran-callable wrapper routines are also included for the convenience of Fortran programmers.

This package contains what you need for compiling sources that use this library in your own code.

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.

HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel. It is commonly used to store all-sky astronomical images, most famously maps of the cosmic microwave background.

This package provides .mod files for the Fortran language implementation of HEALPix.

LORENE is a set of C++ classes to solve various problems arising in numerical relativity, and more generally in computational astrophysics. It provides tools to solve partial differential equations by means of multi-domain spectral methods.

This package contains the static libraries and include files necessary to build LORENE codes or applications using LORENE.

Compiling LORENE codes (including some that are shipped in the lorene-codes-src package) often requires a Fortran compiler. LORENE is configured to use gfortran.

PURIFY is a collection of routines written in C that implements different tools for radio interferometric imaging including file handling (for both visibilities and fits files), implementation of the measurement operator and set-up of the different optimization problems used for image deconvolution. The code calls the generic Sparse OPTimization (SOPT) package to solve the imaging optimization problems.

This package contains the development files.

PgSphere, an extension for PostgreSQL, aims at providing uniform access to spherical data. It allows for a fast search and analysis for objects with spherical attributes in geographical, astronomical, or other applications using PostgreSQL.

By using an SQL interface, PgSphere's users can conveniently manage data of geographical objects around the world and astronomical data collections like star and other catalogues.

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.

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.
