*WARNING* gtburst moved to github (https://github.com/giacomov/gtburst). ########################################## gtBurst is a tool to download data, analyze and simulate Gamma-ray Bursts and Solar Flares as observed by the NASA Fermi satellite.

libTheSky is a Fortran library to compute positions of celestial bodies (Moon, planets, stars) and events (conjunctions, eclipses). It forms the core of the software that produces the Dutch popular-astronomy website http://hemel.waarnemen.com

Implementation in Python of some of the statistical methods provided by "asurv", the survival analysis software.

The goal of spacesim is simulation of a battles in free space. Unlike other such games, spacesim models management of the ship from the point of view of the captain, instead of the pilot. It allows management of the ship of several players at one time.

The Automated Parameter Estimation and Model Selection Toolkit is a fast, parallelized MCMC engine written in C for Bayesian inference (parameter estimation and model selection).

Library of Java code to interact with the data-recording formats (RPFITS and PSRFITS) used at the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF). It also provides tools for extracting metadata from the files for supply to Virtual Observatory instances.

This project contain application to extract images from arch.H format used by Asteroid Data Hunter, and also compiled releases of updated versions of Asteroid Data Hunter itself.

With this tool you can manage your equipment and plan and log your observations. You can create a logbook (as a PDF) from your logged observations.

Multiplatform and Open Source project for astronomical image processing

General purpose scientific framework and its astronomy samples

CometCube - software that used to analyze datacube(FIT format) obtained from radio telescope. This project is using IDL evironment and language.

AstroPhp is a library of functions useful for astronomy calculations writen in PHP.

Automated supernova finder is a software package to automatically compare FITS images to a nominated reference image with the aim of finding supernovae or other optical transient phenomena.

A Bayesian analysis of neutron star mass and radius observations based on O2scl.

Software package for the design of Newtonian binocular telescopes

BoPlanets is a virtual planetarium showing the planets relatively to any observing planet. The planets can be viewed in ecliptical-, equatorial- or horizontal view. The times of rise, transit and set of a planet can be determined. Click on the link below to the web site of BoPlanets to see the help file of BoPlanets.

CRUSH is a pioneering reduction and imaging suite for many astronomical cameras operating at far-infrared, submillimeter and millimeter wavelengths, such as SHARC-2, SCUBA-2, LABOCA, GISMO, or SOFIA/HAWC+ (to name a few).

Warning: I found an error if the DR position is on the southern hemisphere. The PUB249 pdf files did not show this error and are correct (as far as I checked). All Revisions 8+ and the Windows release have been fixed. This Python TK application calculates a good set of stars for a 3 star fix, makes all calculations similar to the FAAs Celestial Computation Sheet (see FAA doc FAA-H-8083-18). Also, you can create a PDF file that generates Pub 249 Vol 1 for any epoch you specify. The PUB249 as PDF is found under "Files". I wrote this for my aircraft bubble octant :-) It is mainly useful for air navigation as it assumes a bubble sextant but may be used for normal sextants as well. Requires Ephem and ReportLab (optional for PDF output) Not to be used for real-world navigation!

Ciclope Astro is a Web 2.0 application to control an astronomical observatory (telescopes, cameras, domes, etc.). It contains other tools as album (folksonomy & votes), forum, news (RSS), karma system. Developed using the Google Web Toolkit framework.

Ciclope Planetarium is a web-based planetarium that provides a simulation of the sky from any location at any time and date. Developed using Google Maps API & AJAX. Available in PHP & J2EE. Integrated in the Ciclope Stars project (www.ciclope.info/stars)

Java program for computations with values expressed in terms of physical or other units. Supports complicated mathematical expressions and user-defined functions. Invoked from scripts, line command, or as GUI. Extensive units data base.

DSPSR is a high-performance, object-oriented, digital signal processing library for radio pulsar astronomy. It implements an extensive range of algorithms and features, and can read data from most observatories, instruments, and file formats.

A client program compatible with the INDI standard (see http://indi.sourceforge.net) for remote telescope and device control. It works under Windows as well as Linux. It is writen in Python and uses the GTK in order to display the GUI.

Generate star maps for anywhere at anytime. Choose from a database of thousands of deep sky objects, including all Messier, Caldwell, and NGC objects. Also allows recording of notes on viewed objects, and configuration of user-generated observation lists.

This is a parallelized algorithm performing a decomposition of the time-series data into a number of sinusoidal components, disentangling them from the white Gaussian noise. The algorithm analyses all suspicious frequencies, including the ones that look like an alias at a glance, but may become preferable later. After selection of the initial frequency candidates, the algorithm passes through all their possible combinations and estimates their multi-frequency statistical significance. In the end, it prints out the set of largest frequency tuples that were still found significant. The GPU computing is implemented through CUDA and brings a significant performance increase. It is still possible to run FreDec solely on CPU, if no suitable GPU device is available in the system. See the details of the underlying theory in Baluev 2013, MNRAS, V. 436, P. 807 The description of the algorithm itself can be found in arXiv:1309.0100.
