Yay, #AstroPy v7.2 finally allows users to work with world coordinates in the units they want. 😀

#AstronomySoftware #ScienceSoftware

I just uploaded version 0.19.0-2 (amd64) of #Debian #package boinor (Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics computations; new dependency for new #astropy version) to #unstable

Heavy lifting is done by #astropy and #sqlite. Might work on a rust version of this in the future, which actually motivated the come up!

Astro update 2025/04 is on the way to be submitted.

Checking for full stack success build, so far no major issues with #Astropy 7.0

#Guix #Astro

Me, trying to refresh #Astropy to 7.0+ in #Guix which needs #Python 3.11 and #NumPy 2.0+

And it's posted!

Still 100% build for the full collection.

Good news everyone!

October Astro soft update is out there for review in Guix.

This month brought us the latest @astropy, Stellarium and @Siril_Official.

IRAF Community, maintained
by @olebole, is packed and will be available after it's reviewed and merged.

I have a completely crazy idea!

To rewrite #astropy in #swift!

How many GWh electric energy would be save if astronomers do adopt it?

Well, I already started it a while ago. Working on geometric and time conversions AtM. Of course it will be open source.

Whoa.

`nifty-ls` claims to be a faster, more accurate drop-in replacement for #astropy's Lomb-Scargle periodogram.

I've briefly experimented with the Kepler short cadence light curve for the enigmatic δ Sct variable HD 187547 (~1M data points) and `nifty-ls` really is ~5-8× faster than the usual `fast` method, for the price of one minimal-dependency import and one keyword argument. 🚀

Plus the authors show it's more accurate, too! 🎯

It's been more than a year since I've started a monthly astro update in Guix ^.^
120+ packages are on the bleeding edge with upstream in the reproducible state and ready for new researching horizons!

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63542

Meanwhile, preparing for the 2024-07 update series, bringing more new packages from the Astropy affiliated set and updating packaged already till the latest versions.

Who uses #guix in any type of research related to #astronomy #astrophysics, please share your wishlist of missing software.

I am working on scheduled update 2024-03 for (gnu guix astronomy), most of it is #python #astropy #jwst related packages.

It would be nice to have https://yt-project.org/

> ... supports structured, variable-resolution meshes, unstructured meshes, and discrete or sampled data such as particles. ...

The package is ready and I might include it in the upcoming update.

Now it's merged!

Today I'm celebrating my first can-of-worms bug (a bug that’s discovered while fixing another bug) in #astropy ! 🎉

It’s a bit paradoxical: these situations are not exactly pleasant to work through, but I find that it’s actually a signal of extreme #codequality that it’s only happening *now*, after two months on the job just tracking #bugs down ! 🪲
