Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-drms. The drms module provides an easy-to-use Python interface for accessing HMI, AIA and MDI data with Python. It uses the publicly accessible Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC) server by default, but can also be used with local NetDRMS sites.
The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) are instruments aboard the Solar Dynamics

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-montagepy. MontagePy is a toolkit for assembling astronomical images into custom mosaics.
It uses algorithms that preserve the calibration and positional (astrometric) fidelity of the input images to deliver mosaics that meet user-specified parameters of projection, coordinates, and spatial scale. It supports all projections and coordinate systems in use in

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-fast-histogram. fast-histogram aims to provide simple and fast histogram functions for regular bins that don't compromise on performance. It doesn't do anything complicated - it just implements a simple histogram algorithm in C and keeps it simple. The aim is to have functions that are fast but also robust and reliable. The result is a 1D histogram function here that is 7-15x faster

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-healpy. 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.

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-drizzle. The drizzle library is a Python package for combining dithered images into a single image. This library is derived from code used in drizzlepac. Like drizzlepac, most of the code is implemented in the C language. The biggest change from drizzlepac is that this code passes an array that maps the input to output image into the C code, while the drizzlepac code computes the

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-pysynphot. pysynphot simulates photometric data and spectra as they are observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Passbands for standard photometric systems are available, and users can incorporate their own filters, spectra, and data. pysynphot user interface allows you to:
* Construct complicated composite spectra from various grids of model

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is fitsh. This software package provides independent binary programs (so called tasks) which performs various steps of astronomical image reduction and data processing. These tasks are designed for execution from a UNIX command line shell or shell script. Each of these tasks performs a specific operation (e.g. transforming an image to another reference frame, search and identifiy stars

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-fitsio. Fitsio provides an easy to use object-oriented API including providing a Numpy interface to FITS files read from CFITSIO. It allows direct access to the columns of a FITS binary table which can be useful for reading large fits files. Compared to astropy.io.fits, this package is closer to the underlying cfitsio library.
Fitsio also exposes a microlanguage (implemented in
