Fedora Astronomy proposed packages
This is list of proposed packages to be included in Fedora. If you are interested in helping and want to package any of them, don't forget to move the entry to UnderReview after you submit a review. First double-check packages already in Fedora and refused packages .
| Package name | Description | Packager | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| astrobuffer | AstroBuffer is a CCD astrophotography image manipulation application. | MarekMahut | Next version will be out by end of next month |
| astroguider | Astroguider analyzes the picture taken by a Webcam (or any other camera), and follows an object (e.g. a star). | None | Needs patching |
| +AstroMD | A Multi Dimensional visualization and analysis toolkit for astrophysics. | None | |
| + audela | Audela is a free and open source astronomy software intended for digital observations (guider) | None | |
| AVSOMAT | A small utility to automate the reduction of variable stars. | None | |
| + Cartes du Ciel/SkyChart | A software to draw chart of the night sky for the amateur astronomer from a bunch of stars and nebulae catalogs. | LubomirKundrak | |
| Chicam | chicam is a small suite of command line utilities to process frames from webcams or digital SLRs. | None | |
| einstein | Einstein@GNOME is a GNOME panel applet that lets you participate in the Einstein@Home neutron star search. | ||
| + ESO-MIDAS | The ESO-MIDAS system provides general tools for image processing and data reduction. | SergioPascual | Testing a first version of the package. |
| Indi | INDI is a distributed control protocol designed to operate astronomical instrumentation. | HuzaifaSidhpurwala | |
| Just Moon | Just Moon: a moon viewer. | HuzaifaSidhpurwala | |
| MarsMOLA | The Mars Orbiter Laser Alitimeter experiment carried on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft produced a topographic map of the entire surface of Mars. | None | |
| messiggy | Messiggy is a database of celestial objects, as cataloged by the French astronomer Charles Messier in the mid-18th century. | None | |
| NightView | The NightView is a software package to control of the SBIG's CCD cameras under Linux. It provides full iterative or batch control of a camera and a filter wheel. It is developed on Monte Boo observatory as a main control software of our camera and telescope. The develop is under GPL so a source code is open for possible changes. | None | |
| Nova | Nova is a free integrated observational environment for amateur astronomers. It's aim is to combine ephemeris, sky view, observatory control and basic image capture functionality into an easy to use Gnome application. | None | |
| OpticalRayTracer | OpticalRayTracer is a free (GPL) Linux (Xwindows GUI-based) utility that analyzes systems of lenses. | HuzaifaSidhpurwala | |
| OrbitViewer | OrbitViewer is an interactive applet that displays the orbit of small bodies (comets or asteroids) in the solar system in 3D | None | |
| + Orsa | ORSA is an interactive tool for scientific grade Celestial Mechanics computations. Asteroids, comets, artificial satellites, Solar and extra-Solar planetary systems can be accurately reproduced, simulated, and analyzed. | None | |
| PartView | Partiview is free, open-source software from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. | None | |
| PP3 | PP3 creates celestial charts. It generates resolution independent maps of very high graphical quality. They can be used for example as illustrations in books or on web pages. You may use own databases or free ones from the Internet. | None | |
| PyIraf | Python interface to Iraf (but Iraf isn't free for the moment). | SergioPascual | Packaged, but unusable without Iraf |
| PyMidas | Python interface to Midas | None | |
| Qastrocam | Qastrocam is a capture program that can work with any video4linux device. Its main purpose is to do astrophotography. | None | |
| radial | This program calculates the radial velocities of both stars in a binary system | None | |
| s4l | Mel Bartels SCOPE telescope stepper controller program | None | |
| SAOimage | SAOimage (pronounced S-A-0-image) is a utility for displaying astronomical images in the X11 window environment. | None | |
| savi | SaVi is software written to facilitate the visualization and analysis | None | |
| shiny | SBIG cameras control | None | |
| SImg | SImg is a software mainly developed for astronomical image processing. | None | |
| SkyDome | SkyDome is a starmap including the radio sky with an original user interface. | None | |
| skyviewer | OpenGL based program to display HEALPix -based skymaps | None | |
| Starbase Data Tables | an ASCII relational database for UNIX. | None | |
| starlab | A package for simulating the evolution of dense stellar systems | None | |
| Starlink | Starlink is a collection of software packages used by many astronomers. All GPL'ed, but a mess to package up. | None | |
| The Mars Simulation Project | Create a simulation of future human settlement of Mars. | None | |
| wcslib | An implementation of the FITS WCS standard | None | |
| xplanet | Earth simulation in universe | None | |
