SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires astropy, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies complex astronomical data analysis, enabling users to perform calculations and transformations related to celestial coordinates, physical units, and cosmological models without deep domain expertise.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Coordinate Transformations: Convert between ICRS, Galactic, AltAz, and other celestial frames.
  • Unit Conversions: Handle physical units (e.g., parsecs to km, Jy to mJy) and ensure dimensional consistency.
  • Cosmological Calculations: Compute distances, ages, and lookback times using standard cosmological models.
  • FITS File I/O: Read, write, and manipulate astronomical data in FITS format.
  • Use Case: Analyze telescope data by converting pixel coordinates to sky coordinates, applying unit conversions to flux measurements, and calculating the luminosity distance to celestial objects.

Quick Start

Use the lib-astropy skill to convert the coordinate 10.5 degrees RA, 41.2 degrees Dec from ICRS to Galactic frame.
