Astropy provides core astronomical functionality for coordinates, units, FITS I/O, cosmology, time, and tables to enable reproducible astro data analysis.
Convert coordinates, read FITS, and compute a cosmology distance in a simple script.

Coordinate transformations between ICRS, Galactic, FK5, and AltAz frames are handled by astropy.coordinates. Define your input coordinates with a frame, then use the `.transform_to()` method to convert to any target frame, automatically applying proper rotations and epoch corrections.
Yes. astropy.io.fits reads and writes FITS files, while astropy.units ensures all numerical values carry explicit physical units. Combine them to load FITS data, attach units to columns, and write results back with full unit preservation and metadata integrity.
Use astropy.cosmology with Planck18 parameters to calculate luminosity distances, comoving distances, and lookback times at any redshift. Specify your cosmology model, provide redshifts, and retrieve distances with proper physical units attached.
astropy.time converts between UTC, TAI, TT, and other astronomical time scales with nanosecond precision. Create Time objects from your input format, specify the scale, and transform to any target scale automatically while accounting for leap seconds and relativity.
No. astropy.units handles unit conversions with physical correctness, including non-linear conversions for magnitudes and flux densities. Define quantities with units, chain conversions, and the framework validates dimensional consistency throughout your workflow.
Yes. astropy.table manages tabular data with unit awareness, and coordinate tools enable efficient cross-matching between catalogs. Load FITS tables, apply coordinate transformations, and match sources using angular separation—all with preserved metadata and units.
