POPPY (PhysicalOpticsPropagation inPython) is a Python package that simulates physical optical propagation including diffraction. It implements a flexible framework for modeling Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction and point spread function formation, particularly in the context of astronomical telescopes. ...
In this environment, the creation of a high-level, easy-to-use development platforms is essential to ensure that the community can develop efficient processing pipelines to manage astronomical data. In this article, we introduce an answer to this problem: Bifrost, a high-throughput, GPU-enabled ...
The web of astronomical data centers that we refer to as the virtual observatory (VO) has led to the development of a variety of web and desktop applications that can discover and download data from most archives around the world. These are made possible by standard interfaces which archives ...
(2) An over-sampled pre-computed matrix of PAH spectra is loaded and interpolated onto the wavelength grid of the astronomical observations. Database-fitting is performed using non-negative least-squares (NNLS), which yields the contribution of an individual PAH molecule to the total fit. As a...
The NOVAS library is an easy-to-use facility that can be incorporated into data reduction programs, telescope control systems, and simulations. The U.S. parts of The Astronomical Almanac are prepared using NOVAS. What is NOVAS Py? With NOVAS Py, the USNO is expanding NOVAS to the Python ...
