## Installation
```bash
# Install astropy
uv pip install astropy
# With optional dependencies for full functionality
uv pip install astropy[all]
```
## Common Workflows
### Converting Coordinates Between Systems
```python
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
import astropy.units as u
# Create coordinate
c = SkyCoord(ra='05h23m34.5s', dec='-69d45m22s', frame='icrs')
# Transform to galactic
c_gal = c.galactic
print(f"l={c_gal.l.deg}, b={c_gal.b.deg}")
# Transform to alt-az (requires time and location)
from astropy.time import Time
from astropy.coordinates import EarthLocation, AltAz
observing_time = Time('2023-06-15 23:00:00')
observing_location = EarthLocation(lat=40*u.deg, lon=-120*u.deg)
aa_frame = AltAz(obstime=observing_time, location=observing_location)
c_altaz = c.transform_to(aa_frame)
print(f"Alt={c_altaz.alt.deg}, Az={c_altaz.az.deg}")
```
### Reading and Analyzing FITS Files
```python
from astropy.io import fits
import numpy as np
# Open FITS file
with fits.open('observation.fits') as hdul:
# Display structure
hdul.info()
# Get image data and header
data = hdul[1].data
header = hdul[1].header
# Access header values
exptime = header['EXPTIME']
filter_name = header['FILTER']
# Analyze data
mean = np.mean(data)
median = np.median(data)
print(f"Mean: {mean}, Median: {median}")
```
### Cosmological Distance Calculations
```python
from astropy.cosmology import Planck18
import astropy.units as u
import numpy as np
# Calculate distances at z=1.5
z = 1.5
d_L = Planck18.luminosity_distance(z)
d_A = Planck18.angular_diameter_distance(z)
print(f"Luminosity distance: {d_L}")
print(f"Angular diameter distance: {d_A}")
# Age of universe at that redshift
age = Planck18.age(z)
print(f"Age at z={z}: {age.to(u.Gyr)}")
# Lookback time
t_lookback = Planck18.lookback_time(z)
print(f"Lookback time: {t_lookback.to(u.Gyr)}")
```
### Cross-Matching Catalogs
```python
from astropy.table import Table
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord, match_coordinates_sky
import astropy.units as u
# Read catalogs
cat1 = Table.read('catalog1.fits')
cat2 = Table.read('catalog2.fits')
# Create coordinate objects
coords1 = SkyCoord(ra=cat1['RA']*u.degree, dec=cat1['DEC']*u.degree)
coords2 = SkyCoord(ra=cat2['RA']*u.degree, dec=cat2['DEC']*u.degree)
# Find matches
idx, sep, _ = coords1.match_to_catalog_sky(coords2)
# Filter by separation threshold
max_sep = 1 * u.arcsec
matches = sep < max_sep
# Create matched catalogs
cat1_matched = cat1[matches]
cat2_matched = cat2[idx[matches]]
print(f"Found {len(cat1_matched)} matches")
```
## Best Practices
1. **Always use units**: Attach units to quantities to avoid errors and ensure dimensional consistency
2. **Use context managers for FITS files**: Ensures proper file closing
3. **Prefer arrays over loops**: Process multiple coordinates/times as arrays for better performance
4. **Check coordinate frames**: Verify the frame before transformations
5. **Use appropriate cosmology**: Choose the right cosmological model for your analysis
6. **Handle missing data**: Use masked columns for tables with missing values
7. **Specify time scales**: Be explicit about time scales (UTC, TT, TDB) for precise timing
8. **Use QTable for unit-aware tables**: When table columns have units
9. **Check WCS validity**: Verify WCS before using transformations
10. **Cache frequently used values**: Expensive calculations (e.g., cosmological distances) can be cached
