The thunar-archive-plugin is a plugin for the Thunar File Manager, which
adds archive operations to the file context menus. Using this plugin you
will be able to extract and create archive files from within Thunar using
a single click.
XArchive is a GTK+ front end for command line archiving tools such as tar, rar,
zip, ace, 7zip, arj, and rpm.
It uses external bash shell wrappers to handle the different types of file
formats, so adding support for new archive types can be easily done by writing
a wrapper.
XMill is a new tool for compressing XML data efficiently. It is based
on a regrouping strategy that leverages the effect of highly-efficient
compression techniques in compressors such as gzip. XMill groups XML
text strings with respect to their meaning and exploits similarities
between those text strings for compression. Hence, XMill typically
achieves much better compression rates than conventional compressors
such as gzip.
GPS Manager (GPSMan) is a graphical manager of GPS data that
makes possible the preparation, inspection and edition of GPS data in
a friendly environment. GPSMan supports communication and real-time
logging with both Garmin and Lowrance receivers and accepts real-time
logging information in NMEA from any GPS receiver.
The General Astrodynamics Library (GAL) is a numerical library for C and C++
programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public License.
The library provides a wide range of astrodynamical routines such as
ephemerides, earth orientation, and orbit propagation. There are over 170
functions in total with an extensive test suit
This is a trivial program that displays the phase of the moon. It
may help when you play a game that depends on the phase of the moon
(nethack, nlith, etc.).
It can also be used to calculate her...um, you figure this one out. ;)
Astro::Coords is a class for manipulating and transforming astronomical
coordinates. Can handle the following coordinate types:
- Equatorial RA/Dec, galactic (including proper motions and parallax)
- Planets
- Comets/Asteroids
- Fixed locations in azimuth and elevations
- Interpolated apparent coordinates
For time dependent calculations a telescope location and reference time must be
provided. See Astro::Telescope and DateTime for details on specifying location
and reference epoch.
Starlink::AST provides a perl wrapper to the Starlink AST library.
The Starlink AST library provides facilities for transforming coordinates
from one system to another in an object oriented manner. Multiple
coordinate frames can be associated with a data set and it is also
possible to generate automatic mappings between frames.
Coordinate frame objects can be imported from FITS headers and from
NDF files.
py-aipy collects together tools for radio astronomical
interferometry. In addition to pure-python phasing,
calibration, imaging, and deconvolution code, this package
includes interfaces to MIRIAD (a Fortran interferometry
package) and HEALPix (a package for representing spherical
data sets), and some math/fitting routines from SciPy.
astLib is a set of Python modules that provides some tools for research
astronomers. It can be used for astronomical plots, some statistics,
common calculations, coordinate conversions, and manipulating FITS images
with World Coordinate System (WCS) information through PyWCSTools - a
simple wrapping of WCSTools by Doug Mink. PyWCSTools is distributed (and
developed) as part of astLib.
