Debian Astro Tools packages

ASDF (Advanced Scientific Data Format) is a proposed next generation interchange format for scientific data. ASDF aims to exist in the same middle ground that made FITS so successful, by being a hybrid text and binary format: containing human editable metadata for interchange, and raw binary data that is fast to load and use. Unlike FITS, the metadata is highly structured and is designed up-front for extensibility.

This package contains the asdf command line tool.

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 tools built with CASA core:

• taql - query language for casacore tables
• measuresdata - create data tables for measures
• imageregrid, imagecalc, showtable, showtablelock, findmeastable, fits2table, imreorder, casahdf5support, msselect, image2fits, imageslice, etc.

Funtools, is a "minimal buy-in" FITS library and utility package developed at the High Energy Astrophysics Division of SAO. The Funtools library provides simplified access to a wide array of file types: standard astronomical FITS images and binary tables, raw arrays and binary event lists, and even tables of ASCII column data. A sophisticated region filtering library (compatible with ds9) filters images and tables using boolean operations between geometric shapes, support world coordinates, etc. Funtools also supports advanced capabilities such as optimized data searching using index files.

This package contains the tools.

NEAT analyses lists of emission line fluxes measured from the spectra of photoionised nebulae such as planetary nebulae and HII regions. It determines the extinction, and then adopts a three zone model to determine temperatures, densities, and ionic and total abundances, from collisionally excited lines and recombination lines. It calculates uncertainties if required, using a Monte Carlo technique.

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.

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 binary tools.
