Software Map

SkyChart は、たくさんの星々や星雲の一覧表からアマチュア天文家が夜空の天文図を描画するためのソフトウェアです。 惑星の位置を表示し、様々な食(日食や月食など)をシミュレートし、人工衛星を観察することができます。また、望遠鏡を動かすこともできます。

The Mars Simulation Project is an open source Java project to create a simulation of a future human settlement on the planet Mars.

INDI is an instrument-neutral distributed interface control protocol that aims to provide backend driver support and automation for a wide range of astronomical devices (telescopes, focusers, CCDs, etc.). Current supported devices include many telescopes, CCDs, filter wheels, focusers, and video cams. INDI is used in popular astronomy suites like Xephem, KStars, DCD, and Cartes Du Ciel.

Xplanet was inspired by Xearth, which renders an image of the earth into the X root window. All of the major planets and most satellites can be drawn, similar to JPL's Solar System Simulator. A number of different map projections are also supported, including azimuthal, Mercator, Mollweide, orthographic, and rectangular.

Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It displays stars, constellations, planets, nebulas and others things like ground, landscape, fog, etc.

Qastrocam is a capture program that can work with any video4linux device. Its main purpose is to do astrophotography. It can control a telescope to do guiding with the images received from the video device. It can also control the extended features of a webcam modified to do long exposure (several seconds) captures.

OREKIT (ORbits Extrapolation KIT) is a low level space dynamics Java library. It provides basic elements (such as orbits, dates, attitude, and frames) and various algorithms to handle them (such as conversions, analytical and numerical propagation, and pointing).

KStars is a graphical desktop planetarium for KDE. It provides an accurate simulation of the night sky, as seen from any location on Earth, on any date. The display includes 40,000 stars, 13,000 deep-sky objects, 2500 comets and asteroids, all 8 planets, and the Sun and Moon.

Cactus is a general, modular, parallel environment for solving systems of partial differential

equations. The code has been developed over many years by a large international collaboration of numerical relativity and computational science research groups and can be used to provide a portable platform for solving any system of partial differential equations.

Ksetiwatch is a monitoring tool for the SETI@home distributed computing project, which searches for signals of extraterrestrial life. It displays the state of the Seti@home client(s) running on your computer or in your local network, and logs/manages completed work units.
