Description

Seems to be used only for creating index coordinates, but pandas is quite a fat package. Can we use numpy/xarray instead since those are dependencies we already have?

Research direction

Start by locating where pandas is used to create index coordinates and compare the existing numpy or xarray dependencies as replacements. Done means the pandas dependency is removed without changing coordinate behavior, with the relevant test suite still passing.
