Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-astropy-healpix. HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel.

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-asdf-astropy. This package includes plugins that provide ASDF serialization support for astropy objects. The plugins are automatically enabled when the package is installed. ASDF (Advanced Scientific Data Format) is a proposed next generation interchange format for scientific data, mainly used by the Space Telescope Science Institude (STScI).

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3-casacore. The casacore package contains the core libraries of the old AIPS++/CASA package. This split was made to get a better separation of core libraries and applications. CASA is now built on top of casacore.

This is the Python wrapper around the library.

wavelength, and effective stimulus.
* Manipulate a spectrum; e.g., applying redshift or normalize it to a
given flux value in a given bandpass.
* Sample a spectrum at given wavelengths.
* Plot a quick-view of a spectrum.
* Perform repetitive operations such as simulating the observations of
multiple type of sources through multiple bandpasses.

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is python3. Python, the high-level, interactive object oriented language, includes an extensive class library with lots of goodies for network programming, system administration, sounds and graphics.

This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Python 3 version (currently v3.11).

It is designed to handle data of any number of dimensions and axis types (e.g. spatial, temporal, spectral, etc.) whose relationship between the array elements and the real world can be described by World Coordinate System (WCS) translations.

This is the Python 3 version of the package.
