Gravitation is an interactive program, which tries to simulate the dynamics of celestial objects in their mutual gravitational field.

Educational astrometry utility for plotting stars on a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. Useful for learning about stellar spectra and properties and performing spectroscopic parallax calculations, as found in many high school physics courses.

Analysis software for Nbody/SPH or SPH simulations (e.g. performed with Gadget II). See http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/hyplot/about and http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/hyplot/wiki for more information.

This projects hold software required for instrumenting an alt-az telescope mount. The required hardware is documented here (http://simonbox.info/index.php/astronomy). The software enables real time conversion from (measured) alt-az to ra-dec and manages a connection to Stellarium (http://www.stellarium.org/), which allows you to view where the telescope is pointing in a virtual planetarium.

L.E.I.C.A. (Long Exposure Internet CAmera) is an application that takes input from your webcam, or v4l2 device, and makes a long-exposure image. Until now there's only a python binding for this app, soon there will be a C/C++ SDL one

This library contains the parametrization of pp->gamma cross section functions based on Phys.Rev. D90 (2014) 12, 123014 (astro-ph/1406.7369) work. The functions are written in Python, Fortran and Matlab. Please, if you use this library DO NOT reference to this webpage, instead reference to Phys.Rev. D90 (2014) 12, 123014 (astro-ph/1406.7369), "Parametrization of gamma-ray production cross-sections for pp interactions in a broad proton energy range from the kinematic threshold to PeV energies" by Ervin Kafexhiu, Felix Aharonian, Andrew M. Taylor, Gabriela S. Vila

Optical design application geared to telescopes and other optical systems. Features include layout design, optimization, standard expected output, ability to import ZMX and LNS files

Application for astronomical photos processing. Intended mainly for amateur astrophotography, for catching "beauty of the universe" rather than some serious scientific data. Includes automatic image registration.

MieConScat is a GUI/Console program for generating MIE SCATtering data as a table of cross sections. It can generate scattering cross sections over specified angular ranges and total absorption cross sections. It was initially developed to aid work with optical particle counters (OPC) especially when CONverting data between cross section and diameter space. These methods are described in Rosenberg et al. 2012, Particle sizing calibration with refractive index correction for light scattering optical particle counters and impacts upon PCASP and CDP data collected during the Fennec campaign and CDP data collected during the Fennec campaign, http://www.atmos-meas-tech.net/5/1147/2012/amt-5-1147-2012.html

MightySETIInfo. Yet another SETI@Home email sig/HTML summary. Written in C++. Uses the Fox GUI library, and ftp4w32. Only tested with Win32 but should be easy to port to *nix. Works with SetiHide. Output files are customizable with HTML-like templates.

MISS is a software simulation of the control room of the International Space Station. It is intended to be both entertaining and educational, aimed at high school students. Various pre-configured and random events encourage interaction and groupwork.

The long term goal is to create an Elite or Frontier style space trading game. It is based on Chris Laurel`s Celestia, MySQL, Lua, plib and freeglut.

MpcReader retrieves comet and asteroid orbital data in MPC format from the web and store it on your computer in different formats. The data is fetched from the MPC. The main job of MpcReader is to convert plain MPC data to the format needed for KStar

N-body implementation of two important algorithm : Tree-code (Barnes-Hut) and FMM (Fast multipole Method). We provide this two algorithm with a new data structure named compressed_octree.

NTuple is a Python module used by high-energy physicists and astrophysicists to easily and efficiently access ntuple data stored in large ROOT data stores. Specifically, NTuple provides a friendly Pythonic interface to TNtuples and TTrees stored in TFiles

A extensible suite of tools for image capture and processing in a multi platform enviornment.

Source code and diagrams for a dual focuser motor controller for a telescope. Includes source for an ASCOM driver that interfaces with the controller.

PMViewer is a Visualization tool for Astrophysical N-Body and Hydro Simulations. GADGET-2 data support.With/Without periodical boundary conditions.Snapshot of scene in PPM and GIF formats.Flying in 3D space. Active/Passive Stereo 3D support.

PlanetPack is a software tool developed to facilitate the radial-velocity time-series analysis for the goal of exoplanets detection, characterization, and basic dynamical simulations. The description of the main theoretic concepts, statistical methods and algorithms that PlanetPack implements, is given in the following refereed papers: R.V. Baluev 2013, Astronomy & Computing, V. 2, P. 18 (initial release); R.V. Baluev 2018, Astronomy & Computing, V. 25, P. 221 (update 3.0). The technical manual explaining the details of the practical use is available in the download archive here (see the /doc/ subfolder).

No longer actively maintained. A graphical tool for the simulation of the solar system, based on gravity power calculations. Focus lies on a nice OpenGL graphic and user friendly modification possibilities. Subject Astronomy

QuantimSim is a physics simulation engine. Some aspects of astrophysics, electromagnetism, relativity, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics will be included in the simulation library.

QuickFlash is a C++-based analysis library for data files generated by the Flash hydrodynamics code. It provides high-performance access to large datasets in low memory situations and other restrictive environments.

ScenicSkies is a open source planetarium software under development which in time is going to have photorealistic rendering of the skies both during the day and night.
