Over the past few years, Astrophysics has experienced an unprecedented increase in research output, as is evident from the year-over-year increase in the number of research papers put onto the arXiv. As a result, keeping up with progress…
Starfinder is an IDL code for the deep analysis of stellar fields, designed for well-sampled images with high and low Strehl factor. An important feature is represented by the possibility to measure the anisoplanatic effect in wide-field…
As the Science Mission Directorate contemplates establishing an open code policy, we consider it timely to share our experiences as the developers of the open-source partial differential equation solver Dedalus. Dedalus is a flexible…
Virtual Observatory (VO) is a data-intensively online astronomical research and education environment, which takes advantages of advanced information technologies to achieve seamless and global access to astronomical information. AstroCloud…
We present an overview of best practices for publishing data in astronomy and astrophysics journals. These recommendations are intended as a reference for authors to help prepare and publish data in a way that will better represent and…
Science archives are cornerstones of modern astronomical facilities. In this paper we describe the version 1.0 milestone of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Science Archive. This version features a comprehensive query…
Large scale structure of the Universe becomes a leading source of precision cosmological information. We present two particular tools that can be used in cosmological analyses of the redshift space galaxy clustering data: a new open-source…
We announce the public release of the application program interface (API) for the Open Astronomy Catalogs (OACs), the OACAPI. The OACs serve near-complete collections of supernova, tidal disruption, kilonova, and fast stars data (including…
Despite the surge of interest in autonomous scientific discovery (ASD) of software artifacts (e.g., improved ML algorithms), current ASD systems face two key limitations: (1) they largely explore variants of existing codebases or similarly…
Simbad is the reference database for identification and bibliography of astronomical objects. It contains identifications, `basic data', bibliography, and selected observational measurements for several million astronomical objects. Simbad…
Open-source scientific software is effectively closed to modification by its complexity. With recent advances in technology, an agentic AI team led by a single human can now rapidly and robustly modify large codebases and re-open science to…
In this article I present IEAD, a new interface for astronomical science databases. It is based on a powerful, yet simple, syntax designed to completely abstract the user from the structure of the underlying database. The programming…
The Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) provides homogeneous access to heterogeneous information of various origins: information about astronomical objects in Simbad; catalogs and observation logs in VizieR and in the…
Astronomy is entering a new era as multiple, large area, digital sky surveys are in production. The resulting datasets are truly remarkable in their own right; however, a revolutionary step arises in the aggregation of complimentary…
Internet access from space enjoys renaissance as satellites in Mega-Constellations is no longer fictitious. Network capacity, subject to power and computational complexity constraints among other challenges, is a major goal in this type of…
Lyman $\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) emission from star-forming galaxies is an important tool to study a large range of astrophysical questions: it has the potential to carry information about the source galaxy, its nearby circumgalactic medium, and…
Scientific discovery is mediated by ideas that, after being formulated in hypotheses, can be tested, validated, and quantified before they eventually lead to accepted concepts. Computer-mediated discovery in astrophysics is no exception,…
There has been much research on codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$, sometimes called quaternary codes, for over a decade. Yet, no database is available for best known quaternary codes. This work introduces a new database for quaternary codes. It…
Telescope bibliographies record the pulse of astronomy research by capturing publication statistics and citation metrics for telescope facilities. Robust and scalable bibliographies ensure that we can measure the scientific impact of our…
We introduce a new visual analytic approach to the study of scientific discoveries and knowledge diffusion. Our approach enhances contemporary co-citation network analysis by enabling analysts to identify co-citation clusters of cited…
