asdf-coordinates-schemas
ASDF schemas for coordinates
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are developing an ASDF-based astronomy package or explicitly need coordinate schema validation. The package is designed as a transitive dependency and the description explicitly recommends installing implementation packages like asdf-astropy instead. Direct installation is unnecessary for end users.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.10; intended for use within asdf-based workflows, not standalone
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Actively maintained with recent commits and stable production status, though typically installed transitively through packages like asdf-astropy rather than directly.

What it is and what it does
asdf-coordinates-schemas is a schema registry package for the ASDF (Advanced Scientific Data Format) ecosystem, providing validation rules for coordinate-related data tags. It is not designed for direct installation by end users; instead, it serves as a dependency for higher-level astronomy packages like asdf-astropy that need to validate and serialize coordinate data.
The package depends on asdf and asdf-standard, and its schemas are automatically registered when those packages load it. It supports current Python versions (3.10+) and is actively maintained. Most developers will encounter it indirectly through astronomy packages rather than installing it explicitly.
Use it for
- Validating coordinate data serialized in ASDF format within astronomy pipelines
- Ensuring coordinate tag compliance when building asdf-astropy or similar astronomy packages
- Extending ASDF schema support for coordinate-heavy scientific data workflows

More Astronomy packages
Albumentations applies image transformations to training data, supporting classification, segmentation, object detection, and pose estimation with a unified API for images, masks, bounding boxes, and keypoints.
Install it if you need a unified, production-grade augmentation API for computer vision tasks.
Converts dates between the Gregorian calendar and 15+ alternative calendar systems including Hebrew, Islamic, Julian, French Republican, Mayan, and others, plus calculates holidays across North American, Jewish, and other traditions.
Install only if you actually need multi-calendar support; the single pymeeus dependency is manageable.
Converts between Julian dates and Gregorian or Julian calendar dates, storing Julian dates as pairs of floating-point numbers for maximum precision.
However, be aware that it will not receive bug fixes or updates—verify that its behavior matches your requirements before committing to it in a production system.
PyERFA wraps the ERFA C library (Essential Routines for Fundamental Astronomy) as NumPy universal functions, exposing key astronomy algorithms for scalar or array inputs.
Install it if you need fundamental astronomy calculations or if another package depends on it.
PyMeeus implements astronomical algorithms from Jean Meeus's classical reference, providing Python classes for computing celestial positions, lunar phases, planetary phenomena, and time conversions with minimal dependencies.
However, verify Python version compatibility first and consider whether other libraries better suit production-grade use cases.
PyEphem computes high-precision positions of planets, moons, stars, comets, and asteroids in the sky for any observer location and date, using C-based numeric routines from the XEphem astronomy application.
