Open Source Unix Shell Astronomy Software

SaVi - simulate Starlink, Iridium, Globalstar, O3b, GPS, Galileo and other satellite constellations, modify them, or design your own. Requires Tcl/Tk and Unix libraries; 3D viewing option requires Geomview running on X Window.

p3d is a general data-reduction tool for use with fiber-fed integral-field spectrographs (IFSs); although, the spectrum viewer works with spectrum data cubes of any origin. The tool is built about the proprietary software IDL (Harris/EXELIS; see http://www.harrisgeospatial.com), but can be used without any license. Most slowly running loops are implemented in parallelized C (OpenMP).

A simple command to convert calendar dates to julian dates. Quite useful in timing situations where you need elapsed time between dates. Also useful for astronomy applications.

SIGPROC - a collection of signal processing programs developed for pulsar data reduction has been developed and maintained since 1999. The package is used to search for and visualize the presence of pulsed signals in noisy radio astronomy data.

This project contain application to extract images from arch.H format used by Asteroid Data Hunter, and also compiled releases of updated versions of Asteroid Data Hunter itself.

A bash script that allows Seti @ Home users to queue up and process multiple work units. This means you don't have to connect to the seti servers after every work unit, and only when you want to.

PODWG is a Wallpaper Generator from various "Picture Of the Day" sources such as NASA's "Astronomy Picture Of the Day".

PulsarHunter is a java based package for pulsar searching. It operates on a number of standard data formats. This package also includes the JReaper graphical candidate selection tool.

SBIG ST-7 camera controller

SSynth is a package of scientific software consisting of shell scripts and fortran source code for efficiently calculating a model stellar spectrum using the standard LTE, homogenous, and plane parallel approximations.

Satellite Prediction Server and Clients

Script for control of seti program, support multiseti, smp, dial connect, process idle, proxy, work offline, nice, stats. etc...

A helper function set written in bash to support DSLR image stacking with IRAF.

openSkyMatch is a collection of Linux shell and Python scripts designed for the OpenScience Observatories program. It automates the identification and matching of detected celestial objects in locally captured FITS images with entries in large-scale sky catalogs, notably Pan-STARRS1 DR2 (II/389/ps1_dr2). The toolkit supports data preprocessing, coordinate correlation, and catalog-based validation of astronomical detections. All tools are open-source and optimized for reproducibility and transparency in citizen science astronomy.

seti-stat is a simple bash script that will retrieve your SETI@home statistics using HTTP protocol, egrep and lynx browser.
