Fedora Astronomy Packages
List of Astronomy packages that are already in Fedora. You can also check packages currently under review , proposed packages and refused packages .
Simulators
| Accrete |
Accrete is a physical simulation of solar system planet formation. This simulation works by modelling a dust cloud around a Sun-like star, injecting a series of masses which collect dust, and form planets by accretion.
|
| Celestia |
Free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions.
|
| Stellarium |
Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors.
|
| Redmode |
Switch to and from night red mode.
|
| Planets |
Planets is a simple interactive program for playing with simulations of planetary systems.
|
| openuniverse |
OpenUniverse is a solar system simulation.
|
| mars-sim |
The Mars Simulation Project is a free software Java project to create a simulation of future human settlement of Mars.
|
Image processing
| ds9 |
Astronomical Data Visualization Application.
|
| gcx |
Data-reduction tool for CCD photomet.
|
| MuniPack |
MuniPack is a CCD photometry package developed by Filip Hroch under and for Linux.
|
| Siril |
Siril is an astronomical image processing software for Linux.
|
| wcstools |
Software utilities to display and manipulate the WCS of a FITS image.
|
| swarp |
SWarp is a program that resamples and co-adds together FITS images using any arbitrary astrometric projection defined in the WCS standard.
|
Observing
| gpredict |
Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application.
|
Star charts
| KStars |
The display includes 130,000 stars, 13,000 deep-sky objects,all 8 planets, the Sun and Moon, and thousands of comets and asteroids.
|
| spacechart |
A 3D star-mapping program.
|
Data processing
| Nightfall |
Nightfall is an astronomy application for fun, education, and science. It can produce animated views of eclipsing binary stars, calculate synthetic lightcurves and radial velocity curves, and eventually determine the best-fit model for a given set of observational data of an eclipsing binary star system
|
| Rmap |
Rmap is a package that will allow you to generate images of the earth from a distance or fairly zoomed.
|
| Sextractor |
SExtractor is a program that builds a catalogue of objects from an astronomical image.
|
| StarPlot |
StarPlot is a program for Unix that allows you to view charts of the relative 3-dimensional positions of stars in space.
|
| xstar |
N-body simulator
|
| jday |
A simple command to convert calendar dates to julian dates. Quite useful in timing situations where you need elapsed time between dates.
|
| Cloudy |
Spectral synthesis code to simulate conditions in interstellar matter.
|
| GGobi |
GGobi is a data visualization system for viewing high-dimensional data.
|
| GNURadio |
Gnuradio is a software defined radio framework.
|
| GRC |
The GNU Radio Companion is a preliminary graphical user interface which allows GNU Radio components to be put together graphically.
|
| boinc-client |
A platform for distributed computing.
|
| cpl |
ESO library for automated astronomical data-reduction.
|
| extrema |
Extrema is a powerful visualization and data analysis tool that enables researchers to quickly distill their large, complex data sets into meaningful information.
|
Telescope control
| nexcontrol |
Software to control your Celestron NexStar Telescope
|
