astropycoordinates
Astropy coordinates is a subpackage of the Astropy project that provides tools for representing and transforming astronomical coordinates. It supports a wide range of celestial and local reference frames and a flexible transformation framework, enabling consistent handling of positions, motions, and distances.
Representations and frames: The package defines multiple coordinate representations, such as spherical and Cartesian forms, which
Transformations: Coordinates can be transformed between frames with a single call to transform_to or by switching
Usage and integration: The module integrates with NumPy arrays, astropy.units, and astropy.time, enabling vectorized operations on
Applications and ecosystem: Astropy coordinates is widely used for catalog cross-matching, plotting, orbit calculations, and observational
