Table of contents
Here we list all Debian packages that are mentioned in the Astrophysics
Source Code Library (ASCL).
The Astrophysics Source Code Library is a free online registry for
source codes of interest to astronomers and astrophysicists and lists codes
that have been used in research that has appeared in, or been submitted to,
peer-reviewed publications. The ASCL is indexed by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics
Data System (ADS) and is citable by using the
unique ascl ID assigned to each code.

This metapackage will install commonly used interfaces for interacting with
datasets and archive data within the online distributed Virtual Observatory.
The Virtual Observatory allows astronomers to interrogate multiple data
centers in a seamless and transparent way, provides new powerful analysis and
visualization tools within that system, and gives data centers a standard
framework for publishing and delivering services using their data. This is
made possible by standardization of data and metadata, by standardization of
data exchange methods, and by the use of a registry, which lists available
services and what can be done with them.
When running, many of these tools can communicate with each other
using the Simple Application Messaging Protocol (SAMP)
