To convert celestial coordinates between ICRS and Galactic frames in Python, this Skill applies coordinate transformation logic to parse input sky coordinates and calculate their mapped position in the target astronomical reference frame.

Reading and writing FITS files for astronomical data analysis involves parsing the binary FITS format to extract image arrays or tabular data, manipulating the contents, and serializing the updated structure back into a standard FITS file.

Calculating cosmological distances and ages at a specific redshift involves applying cosmological parameters to compute the line-of-sight comoving distance, luminosity distance, and the age of the universe at that given epoch.

Performing physical unit conversions and ensuring dimensional consistency for astrophysics calculations is supported by attaching physical units to numerical values, automatically tracking dimensions, and validating operations to prevent unit mismatch errors.

Handling World Coordinate System (WCS) transformations for telescope data is supported by parsing WCS metadata from FITS headers to map pixel coordinates to celestial sky coordinates and accurately project imaging data.
