MatchingTools is a Python library for doing symbolic calculations in effective field theory. It provides the tools to construct general models by defining their field content and their interaction Lagrangian. Once a model is given, the…
This posting announces public availability of version 1.2 of the DiskFit software package developed by the authors, which may be used to fit simple non-axisymmetric models either to images or to velocity fields of disk galaxies. Here we…
Recent observations of the galactic centers of M87 and the Milky Way with the Event Horizon Telescope have ushered in a new era of black hole based tests of fundamental physics using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). Being a nascent…
Photometry of galaxies has typically focused on small, faint systems due to their interest for cosmological studies. Large angular size galaxies, on the other hand, offer a more detailed view into the properties of galaxies, but bring a…
We introduce geoplotlib, an open-source python toolbox for visualizing geographical data. geoplotlib supports the development of hardware-accelerated interactive visualizations in pure python, and provides implementations of dot maps,…
High-quality astronomical images delivered by modern ground-based and space observatories demand adequate, reliable software for their analysis and accurate extraction of sources, filaments, and other structures, containing massive amounts…
The luminosity function is a fundamental observable for characterizing how galaxies form and evolve throughout the cosmic history. One key ingredient to derive this measurement from the number counts in a survey is the characterization of…
The major thrust of the Tully-Fisher (TF) surveys of distant galaxies is the measurement of linewidths rather than mere redshifts or colors. Linewidths are a measure of galaxy mass and should therefore be a more stable indicator of size…
We present the description of the project \texttt{SCORPIO}, a Python package for retrieving images and associated data of galaxy pairs based on their position, facilitating visual analysis and data collation of multiple archetypal systems.…
We present allesfitter, a public and open-source python software for flexible and robust inference of stars and exoplanets given photometric and radial velocity data. Allesfitter offers a rich selection of orbital and transit/eclipse…
In this paper we describe the main features of the software package named FITSH, intended to provide a standalone environment for analysis of data acquired by imaging astronomical detectors. The package provides utilities both for the full…
Photon-HDF5 is an open-source and open file format for storing photon-counting data from single molecule microscopy experiments, introduced to simplify data exchange and increase the reproducibility of data analysis. Part of the Photon-HDF5…
Machine learning techniques offer a plethora of opportunities in tackling big data within the astronomical community. We present the set of Generalized Linear Models as a fast alternative for determining photometric redshifts of galaxies, a…
Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) allowed us to peek into the extremely energetic side of the Universe with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. The tools available for analyzing Fermi-LAT data are the…
For more that seventy years, the measurements of fluxes of galaxies at different wavelengths and derived colours have been used to estimate their corresponding cosmological distances. From the fields of galaxy and AGN evolution to precision…
Strong gravitational lensing, which can make a background source galaxy appears multiple times due to its light rays being deflected by the mass of one or more foreground lens galaxies, provides astronomers with a powerful tool to study…
Stellar population synthesis is a crucial methodology in astrophysics, enabling the interpretation of the integrated light of galaxies and stellar clusters. By combining empirical and/or theoretical libraries of the spectral energy…
We present RadFil, a publicly available Python package that gives users full control over how to build and fit radial density profiles for interstellar filaments. RadFil builds filament profiles by taking radial cuts across the spine of a…
BondGraphTools is a Python library for scripted modelling of complex multi-physics systems. In contrast to existing modelling solutions, BondGraphTools is based upon the well established bond graph methodology, provides a programming…
$clustertools$ is a Python package for analyzing star cluster simulations. The package is built around the $StarCluster$ class, which stores all data read in from the snapshot of a given model star cluster. The package contains functions…
