Skysoft :: Astronomical Software Directory Welcome to Skysoft, the usersupported astronomical software database. Skysoft is a YAASD (Yet Another Astronomical software Directory), http://www.skysoft.org/
Extractions: Welcome to Skysoft, the user-supported astronomical software database. Skysoft is a YAASD (Yet Another Astronomical Software Directory), but with a different overall approach. Our choice is to design this site as a community supported directory . The idea is that content remains timely because of frequent user interaction. Users and developers are invited to contribute with software news, user's views, comments and bugs notifications, and general astronomical news. This site is designed so that software developers acquire more visibility because of astronomical context. Developers can post a brief description of their product, with the classification which can ease the search and retrieval of software projects. Our goal is to be useful to both end-users and developers. We host all software kinds, from general data reduction packages, to specialized libraries, to small specific tools.
Astronomical Software - Ovidiu Vaduvescu Reference this software works for the Astronomical Yearbook of the AIRA; The software runs 15 astronomical catalogues, organised in two database http://www.geocities.com/ovidiuv/astrsoft.html
Extractions: Given data: comet: orbital elements (epoch of passing, revolution period, semi-major axis, eccentricity, argument of perigee, longitude of the ascending node, inclination), comput date; small planet: orbital elements (semi-major axis, eccentricity, argument of perigee, longitude of the ascending node, inclination, mean motion, mean anomaly, epoch), comput date;
MICA - Multiyear Interactive Computer Almanac An easyto-use astronomical almanac from the US Naval Observatory, About MICA is a software system that provides high-precision astronomical data in http://aa.usno.navy.mil/software/mica/micainfo.html
Extractions: Ordering Information MICA, the Multiyear Interactive Computer Almanac, is a software system that provides high-precision astronomical data in tabular form for a wide variety of celestial objects. MICA computes many of the astronomical quantities tabulated in the The Astronomical Almanac . However, MICA can compute this information for specific locations and specific times, thus eliminating the need for table look-ups and additional hand calculations. Designed primarily for professional applications, MICA is intended for intermediate-to-advanced users. Basic knowledge of astronomical terminology and positional astronomy is assumed. MICA provides essential data for use in: Astronomy and astrophysics Space science Geodesy and surveying Geophysics Meteorology Environmental science Operations planning Accident reconstruction and litigation Illumination engineering Architecture Photography
Astronomical And Space-Related OS/2 Software Also note the following astronomical software sites, including software for OS/2 and other platforms. Bill Arnett s Astronomical software Guide http://www.seds.org/~spider/os2/astro2.html
Extractions: SEDS has a small but hopefully fine collection of astronomical and space-related OS/2 software Blackbody sources Ephem 4.28 : Ephemeris calculator for OS/2 (Unix port) XEphem for OS/2 , port by Mark Goldberg (goldber at primenet.com) of Elwood Downey's XEphem program , using EMX, XFree86 for OS/2 and Lesstif for XFree86/OS2 , the free Motif clone for OS/2 (for more information see the Lesstif for XFree86/OS2 description by Michael Holzapfel). XEphem version 3.1 for OS/2 is also available from Mark Goldberg's site PM Mond : Native OS/2 PM Lunar Phases Calculator Newton PM : Simulations of planetary systems and multiple stars.

Extractions: Press a button for "Goto", or for an 'Instant Skychart' of the selected object! Rapidly locate deep-sky objects or bright stars. Unusually rich search capabilities - each entry has up to five different names (Example: M1, NGC 1952, CrabNebula, Taurus, Planetary Create a custom "tour" based on your own criteria (by constellation and/or object type, elevation, magnitude). New: RTGUI+S will give a prioritized list of the "Best Objects" in the sky, based upon the time and location. Save or Print any such "tour" or "list".
Extractions: A/WWW Enterprises We have created a service on the World Wide Web for discovering astronomical software. Tools allow us to create a searchable index of documents distributed across the Web, rather than maintaining a centralized collection of documents. We have indexed astronomical software documentation, which is maintained directly by the software providers at their home sites. In addition, we also provide a uniform set of high-level package descriptions. There is a lot of software of interest to astronomers, and astronomical software developers. Still, finding the software to solve a particular problem can be difficult. Sometimes we end up re-writing software, and sometimes we get something from a friend of a friend. Neither solution is optimal. About three years ago, we started to think about a solution to this problem. The tools we were using for discovering software were archie and COSMIC. We liked archie as a free and open system, but felt limited because only file names are indexed-it's hard to find something unless you know what it is called, i.e., what you are looking for. NASA's COSMIC project distributes software developed under NASA contracts. It is not free, and not very well known.
