JuliaAstro
JuliaAstro and its affiliated organizations are a community for astronomy in Julia. We strive to foster an ecosystem of packages that interoperate well with each other for a wide variety of different domains ranging from solar system science to large-scale cosmology. As part of the larger Julia ecosystem, our mission is to provide code that is fast, dynamic, composable, and reproducible.
Where to Start?
- Want to get started running some code? Check out our Getting Started page.
- Want to see a curated list of different packages available? Check out our Package Ecosystem page.
- Want to see real world applications of JuliaAstro? Check out our Case Studies page.
- Coming from astropy? Check out our Comparison with Astropy page.
- Want to learn more about getting involved? Check out our Community page.
Further documentation for curated packages in the JuliaAstro and larger Julia ecosystem can be viewed directly via the navbar above. Pure Julia packages are marked with a closed circle ⬤, while wrapper packages for other languages are marked with an open circle ◯.
