Open Source Linux Astronomy Software

GRad is a standalone solar radiation model, programmed in Java. It is capable of the calculation of potential (clear sky) and actual (real sky) irradiance and total irradiation for single and multiple geographical locations. Note that, while fully functional, this application is currently not developed any further.

Global Village is a UI for xplanet on the Gnome desktop

JAlma is Java Astronomical Almanac.

he JAVA library is designed to read JPL DE/LE ephemerides (DE200, DE405, DE406, DE421, DE422, DE430, DE431, DE440 and DE441) and to calculated the position and velocity of the Sun, Moon, eight major planets and Pluto, also the earth nutations and the lunar librations if they are part of the ephemeris.

JAVA project represents the realization of modern astronomical algorithms related to the orbital movement of planets, satellites and small bodies in the solar system by solving Kepler's equation and additional astronomical and mathematical libraries

MieConScat is a GUI/Console program for generating MIE SCATtering data as a table of cross sections. It can generate scattering cross sections over specified angular ranges and total absorption cross sections. It was initially developed to aid work with optical particle counters (OPC) especially when CONverting data between cross section and diameter space. These methods are described in Rosenberg et al. 2012, Particle sizing calibration with refractive index correction for light scattering optical particle counters and impacts upon PCASP and CDP data collected during the Fennec campaign and CDP data collected during the Fennec campaign, http://www.atmos-meas-tech.net/5/1147/2012/amt-5-1147-2012.html

Python Planetary Physics Package

Pysolar is a Python library for calculating the position of the sun relative to the earth as a function of latitude, longitude, and time. There is also code included for other problems related to the development of photovoltaic systems. Still in alpha.

SPIDR (Space Physics Interactive Data Resource) is a distributed database and application server network, built to select, visualize and model historical space weather data. SPIDR is a web-application and a grid of data mining web-services.

The first goal of this project is to create a realistic environnment simulator including most of the last scientist discovery. The domain are astrophysics, geophysics, electromagnetics, ... The second goal of this project is the creation of an interface to use this environnment. In particular the fact that it is possible to connect/command/control some automatic tools (robot, sensor, ... ) note : les images utilisés proviennent de http://www.photo-libre.fr

Star Identification from star position measurements, for use with telescopes, cameras, and star trackers.

This project is an initial reference implementation of the VSI-E protocol. The implementation has been done using the C/C++ language and is in the form of a re-useable library developed on the Linux platform.

EXTREMA is an interactive program with publication quality graphics and mathematical analysis capabilities. EXTREMA can be GUI and/or command driven. The command language includes conditional branching, looping and subroutine calling constructs.

Project moved to Google Code since SourceForce is a broken, buggy, non-responsive service. I had to re-log in over 100 times just to change this description. Please visit the project at http://code.google.com/p/starflighttlc/ for the latest version of th

This linux package is a VLF receiver for monitoring VLF transmitter signals for evidence of transients indicating ionospheric disturbances. It takes sample pairs from dual-channel sound cards and spectrally processes them to Stokes parameters.
