Astronomy Software Dataset
The astronomy software ecosystem — the desktop planetariums and imaging/acquisition apps added by the Astronomical Software Ecosystem program (astronomy_software) alongside the scientific tools and libraries (IRAF, CASA, TOPCAT, DS9, Aladin, AstroImageJ, Montage, Skyfield, poliastro, Orekit) and the Astropy ecosystem already in research_software. Only well-established facts (purpose, platforms); nothing fabricated.
