Welcome to Skysoft!
Welcome to Skysoft, the user-supported astronomical software database.
Skysoft is a YAASD (Yet Another Astronomical Software Directory), but with a
different overall approach. Our choice is to design this site as a community supported directory. The idea is that content remains timely because of frequent user interaction. Users and developers are invited to contribute with software news, user's views, comments and bugs notifications, and general astronomical news. This site is designed so that software developers acquire more visibility because of astronomical context. Developers can post a brief description of their product, with the classification which can ease the search and retrieval of software projects.
Our goal is to be useful to both end-users and developers. We host all software
kinds, from general data reduction packages, to specialized libraries, to small
specific tools.
Help us to help you: register your software, share your experiences and views!
Ma et al. found to a high degree of confidence that entanglement can be produced a posteriori, after the entangled particles have been measured and may no longer exist.
New results question the finding that the Mars Viking experiments did not find life. The analysis was based on studying the mathematically complexity of the experiment results.
The ADA VII – Astronomical Data Analysis Conference will be held at the Institut d’Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse, Corsica, France on May 14-18, 2012.
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that an LED can emit more optical power than the electrical power it consumes. At very low voltages the light-emitting process cools the LED slightly, making it operate similar to a thermoelectric cooler and converting its excess heat into those over-unity photons.
A new result from ESO’s HARPS planet finder shows that rocky planets not much bigger than Earth are very common in the habitable zones around red dwarf. The team estimates that there are tens of billions of such planets in our galaxy, and probably about one hundred in the Sun’s neighbourhood.
The International Astrophysics Meeting Reading the book of globular clusters with the lens of stellar evolution, will be held at the Astronomical Observatory of Rome, Monte Porzio Catone (Rome, Italy), from November 26 to 28, 2012.
"Linux 3.3 has been released. The changes include the merge of kernel code from the Android project. There is also support for a new architecture (TI C6X), much improved balancing and d several network improvements.
