Description

Update: Collecting package wishlist issues here, to be split out into actionable issues from the fireplace

It was brought up on slack that having a section dedicated to a list of desired packages and applications might be useful. Examples include:

  • A Julia version of DS9 with both a package and a binary application
  • An AstroArchives.jl package to download data queried from VirtualObservatory.jl
    • e.g., querying TESS TPFs from MAST
  • A package for ASDF I/O (I think ASDF2.jl may address this already?)
  • A Julia version of XRADIO (This may fall under the purview of the Radio Astronomy Group currently being formed)
  • Create a package containing radiative process models, such as blackbody, bremsstrahlung, gyrosynchrotron, synchrotron, line and collisional emission, and ionization rates. Such a package will provide a set of validated and optimized models for use in data analysis, similar to the SpecialFunction.jl package.
