Astropy: A community Python package for astronomy

TL;DR: Astropy as discussed by the authors is a Python package for astronomy-related functionality, including support for domain-specific file formats such as flexible image transport system (FITS) files, Virtual Observatory (VO) tables, common ASCII table formats, unit and physical quantity conversions, physical constants specific to astronomy, celestial coordinate and time transformations, world coordinate system (WCS) support, generalized containers for representing gridded as well as tabular data, and a framework for cosmological transformations and conversions.

Astropy: A Community Python Package for Astronomy

TL;DR: Astropy as mentioned in this paper provides core astronomy-related functionality to the community, including support for domain-specific file formats such as Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) files, Virtual Observatory (VO) tables, and common ASCII table formats, unit and physical quantity conversions, physical constants specific to astronomy, celestial coordinate and time transformations, world coordinate system (WCS) support, generalized containers for representing gridded as well as tabular data, and a framework for cosmological transformations and conversions.

How supernova feedback turns dark matter cusps into cores

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed and successfully test against new cosmological simulations a novel analytical description of the physical processes associated with the origin of cored dark matter density profiles, demonstrating how fluctuations in the central potential irreversibly transfer energy into collisionless particles, thus generating a dark matter core.
