halospec

Halo Spectroscopy for JWST/MIRI

cortopy

Celestial Object Rendering TOol (CORTO) is a bundle of codes that can be used to generate synthetic images-label pairs of celestial bodies.

mpc-designation

Multi-language library for converting packed/unpacked Minor Planet Center designations (asteroids, comets, satellites)

pykepler

kepler is a C and Python astronomy library. It implements VSOP87 for the planets, ELP 2000-82B for the Moon, minor body calculations using the MPC database, IAU precession & nutation models, rise/transit/set, Moon phase, eclipse, and equinox/solstice calculations.

precovery

Fast asteroid precovery at scale

astro-aleph

Aleph computes fast and accurate ephemeris of asteroids from MPCORB.DAT and astorb.dat catalogues. It joins the flexibility of astropy and the power of rebound to integrate asteroid's orbits.

tvet

Python package for visualization and analysis of asteroid shape models and their light curves. It computes mesh geometry, photometric cosines, fluxes, and light curves using selectable scattering laws. The tool also supports plotting light curves and interactive visualization of asteroid geometry and photometric data.
