Spectra.jl Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Accepted project · by James R Lee
Spectra.jl already handles UV, optical, and IR spectra, but has no capability for loading spectra like X-ray and gamma-ray, as they are different...
Modernizing radiospectra: A Coordinate-Aware and Interoperable Spectral Data Framework
Accepted project · by Kumar Amityush
Current radiospectra stores spectral data as plain NumPy arrays with each instrument client handling metadata, axis ordering and coordinate...
PyArrow Improvements for Astronomy
Accepted project · by Om Biradar
The PyArrow project currently faces performance bottlenecks when used in astronomy computational work on massive datasets, such as the HATS catalog...
Spectral Timing in Julia: Extending Stingray.jl for X-ray Astronomy
Accepted project · by Om S Habib
While Python Stingray is powerful for X-ray timing, its computational overhead creates a massive bottleneck for processing multi-megabyte event...
Hardening Astropy's Core Stability
Accepted project · by Reem_Hamraz
Astropy’s Python API is well-tested, but its underlying compiled layer (C, C++, Cython) lacks isolated testing. Because performance-critical...

This project will extend RADIS to calculate electronic spectra, enabling analysis of high-temperature phenomena in plasmas, flames, and exoplanet...
This project enhanced Stingray.jl, the Julia-based implementation of the Stingray library for X-ray timing analysis in high-energy astrophysics....
The project aims to create an interactive database for X-ray observations, enabling on-the-fly visualization of data products generated with the...
The RADIS app is a web application designed for high-resolution infrared molecular spectra using RADIS. Instead of requiring users to write code,...
High-Performance Parsing and Selective Access for Large Dataset
Accepted project · by Pratham Hole
The HITEMP CO₂ spectroscopic database is extremely large and inefficient to work with. The distributed file is about 6 GB when compressed, but...
