The Astrophysics Source Code Library: New codes welcome

[RJN]

If you know of a code that might be well placed here, please mention it as a reply to this topic. This could be your own code, one written by others and posted to arXiv.org, or something else entirely. For each code suggested, we will have a look and, if appropriate, add the code to the list in the future. - RJN

Browsing arXiv.org > astro-ph today (found here: http://arxiv.org/list/astro-ph/new),
I see the following code listed here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.4968 :

The third version of the AMBER data reduction software

Authors: Malbet et al.

(Note: anyone can browse through the day's listings and post any new codes found as a reply to this Topic.)

Surely you should link to the cfitsio library at GSFC?

Also, a separate link to the FITS image compression tool, fpack:

Rob,
We will post your codes to the list eventually. Currently, we are trying to figure out how to post a new code in this phpBB software while keeping the rest of the codes in alphabetical order. We will solve this eventually!

CFITSIO and FPACK have been added, and codes now stay in alpha order in the forum.

The third version of the AMBER data reduction software has been added.

Another recommendation: setting up categories for libraries by language. For example:

Python:

• pyraf (including pyfits)

• pyephem

IDL:

• IDLAstro

• The Craig Markwardt library

IDLAstro includes a further compilation of links to IDL libraries:

• http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/other_url.html

Xephem (open source) has useful libraries. (They are the basis of PyEphem)

Package for the Interactive Analysis of Line Emission (PINTofALE)
http://hea-www.harvard.edu/PINTofALE/

IDL package to analyze high-resolution spectra. Hooks into CHIANTI, SPEX, and APED atomic line emissivity databases. Also contains several utility programs of general applicability.

Thank you! PINTofALE is in the library on page 2 here: http://asterisk.apod.com/viewtopic.php? ... 60#p128160

If there is something in the entry that needs to be fixed, please let me know; thank you!

You should have the FLASH code up
http://flash.uchicago.edu/website/home/
There description is kind of crummy but its one of the more powerful hydro/MHD/AMR/MPI codes out there
