🧵:
Astropy: Astropy is a widely used library for astronomy and astrophysics. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, utilities, and models for various astronomical calculations, including celestial coordinates, unit conversions, time calculations, FITS file handling, and more.
Astroquery: Astroquery is an Astropy-affiliated library that enables easy access to online astronomical databases and data archives. It provides a unified interface to query and retrieve data from various astronomical resources, such as the NASA Exoplanet Archive, SIMBAD, VizieR.
PyEphem: PyEphem is a library for performing high-precision astronomy computations. It provides functions to calculate positions and times of celestial objects, including stars, planets, and satellites. PyEphem can be used to predict sunrise and sunset times, moon phases.
PyFITS/astropy.io.fits: PyFITS (also known as astropy. io.fits) is a module within the Astropy library for reading, writing, and manipulating FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files, which are commonly used in astronomy to store astronomical data.
Skyfield: Skyfield is a library that provides a high-level interface for performing astronomy calculations. It includes functionality for computing positions of celestial bodies, generating ephemerides, and performing conversions between various coordinate systems.
SEP : SEP is a library used for source detection and photometry in astronomical images. It provides algorithms for detecting and measuring properties of sources (e.g., stars, galaxies) in images, along with background estimation and image segmentation capabilities.
