dfreproject: A Python package for astronomical reprojection

dragonflytelescope/dfreproject 6 May 2025

This is done by reprojecting each exposure onto a common target grid defined using a World Coordinate System (WCS) that is defined by mapping the known angular positions of reference objects to their observed spatial positions on each image.

Astrometry.net: Blind astrometric calibration of arbitrary astronomical images

neuromorphicsystems/astrometry 12 Oct 2009

We have built a reliable and robust system that takes as input an astronomical image, and returns as output the pointing, scale, and orientation of that image (the astrometric calibration or WCS information).

The Roman View of Strong Gravitational Lenses

astromusers/mejiro 3 Jun 2025

We simulate a population of galaxy-galaxy strong lenses across cosmic time with Cold Dark Matter subhalo populations, select those detectable in the HLWAS, and generate simulated images accounting for realistic Wide Field Instrument detector effects.

On the role of resonances in polluting white dwarfs by asteroids

4xxi/mercury 14 Apr 2021

We show with numerical simulations that as a planet gets engulfed by the evolving star, the secular resonance shifts and the rate of tidal disruption events increases with the engulfed planet's mass and its orbital separation.

Relativistic tidal separation of binary stars by supermassive black holes

hannorein/rebound 25 Apr 2024

This discrepancy is particularly pronounced in retrograde encounters, where relativistic simulations predict up to $30\%$ more separation events and an earlier onset of binary separation ($\beta=2$ compared to $2. 5$ in Newtonian simulations, with $\beta$ the impact parameter).

Directly Imaging the Cooling Flow in the Phoenix Cluster

michael-reefe/loki.jl 12 Feb 2025

In the centers of many galaxy clusters, the hot ($\sim$10$^7$ K) intracluster medium (ICM) can become dense enough that it should cool on short timescales.
