System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Astropy-empowered toolkit for consolidating coordinate transformations, unit handling, FITS I/O, and cosmology calculations into a single reusable workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Coordinate transformations across celestial frames (ICRS, Galactic, FK5, AltAz)
  • Unit-aware calculations and conversions using astropy.units and quantities
  • FITS I/O and table operations via astropy.io.fits and astropy.table
  • Cosmology computations (luminosity distances, ages, lookback times) and time handling

Quick Start

Load a FITS image, create SkyCoord objects, transform coordinates, and compute a luminosity distance using Planck18.
