astronomR: Cosmic Insights: Statistical Frameworks for Astronomers
A comprehensive toolkit for astronomical and cosmological
computations. Provides functions for angular coordinate conversions
(degrees, hours-minutes-seconds, degrees-minutes-seconds, and radians),
access to fundamental physical constants, queries to the Gaia Archive TAP
(Table Access Protocol) service, cosmological distance calculations,
early-universe thermal physics including photon density, 'Saha' equation
solutions, and a full thermal-cosmology module covering the Hubble rate in
the radiation-dominated era, effective relativistic degrees of freedom,
entropy density, equilibrium yields, the Boltzmann relic-abundance
('pebble') equation for WIMP freeze-out, the freeze-out temperature solver,
and the Peebles equation for hydrogen recombination. Also includes the
Drake equation for estimating the number of communicating extraterrestrial
civilisations in the Milky Way.
