Opportunity to work (for money!) on #Astropy as an independent contractor, invoicing #NumFOCUS:

#astropy #Python

Calculate the rectangular celestial coordinates of stars from right ascension, declination, and distance (Alpha Centauri given in example):

#!/usr/bin/python3

import sys
import astropy as ap
from astropy import units as u
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord, get_constellation
coord=sys.argv[1:6]
dist=float(sys.argv[7])
co=" ".join(coord)
c=SkyCoord(co, unit=(u.hourangle,u.deg),distance=dist)
print(c.represent_as('cartesian'))

Today I can't use 2FA with #GitHub. I'm using Authy but installed an account using Google Authenticator too. Neither work but only for GitHub and recovery codes also don't work.

Anyone in #opensource #python #astropy have suggestions?

Fortunately I can authenticate via SMS.

My weekend was nice. Detecting #SpaceX #Starlink brightness with help of #Python & #CdSportal (#unistrasbourg),
#SpaceTrackOrg, http://Astrometry.net, #astropy.

I didn't know that #Genesis2 by #BigelowSpace was this big/bright. That's a great catch in my #SonyAlpha video at #jenalichtstadt.

How was yours?

#Astropy created a new release candidate 5.2rc1, and we are going to test it in @DebianAstro and provide feedback. This makes sure we will have a perfect final package for Astropy 5.2 for the upcoming @debian #Bookworm release. https://packages.debian.org/experimental/python3-astropy

@DebianAstro We're huge fans of #astroquery and #astropy! 🚀

Is there anything like #astropy but for #fsharp ?

@astrogsw You probably meant software for visual astronomy, but I'll reply anyway... 🙂

In Radio there are a few software suites out there, e.g., #CASA (https://casa.nrao.edu/) or #gildas (https://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/GILDAS/).

Still, I often preferred to write my own #Python programs, as it gives more flexibility. (Makes sense for large projects only or if you have lots of similar data.) For #Python there are a lot of great packages, which help, #astropy, #numpy, #scipy, #matplotlib etc.

Hello #fediverse! Time for an #introduction 🚀

poliastro is an #opensource (MIT) pure #Python library for interactive #Astrodynamics and #OrbitalMechanics. It provides a simple and intuitive API, it's fast thanks to #numba, and it handles physical quantities with units thanks to #Astropy.

We will be posting tips, news about the project, and cool plots. Stay tuned!

De rien. Avant de pouvoir utiliser #astropy, il faut bien commencer par le B A BA. 😉
