Can I use this skill for cosmological distance calculations?

Yes, it includes built-in support for standard models like Planck18 and WMAP9 to calculate luminosity distance, comoving distance, lookback time, and age of the universe.

How does Astropy handle physical units?

Astropy uses a specialized units and quantities system that prevents dimensional errors by attaching units to values, ensuring consistency during complex mathematical operations.

Does this skill help with coordinate transformations?

Absolutely. It can transform positions between celestial systems (ICRS, FK5, Galactic) and observer-centric systems (AltAz) while accounting for atmospheric refraction and observer location.

What file formats does the Astropy skill support?

It primarily supports FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files, but also handles ASCII, CSV, HDF5, VOTable, and other common tabular data formats used in astronomy.
