How does this skill help with astronomical data?

It enables Claude to use the Astropy library to perform precise coordinate conversions, unit-aware calculations, and complex data file manipulation.

Can I use this for cosmological simulations?

Yes, the skill provides access to built-in cosmological models like Planck18 and WMAP9 for distance, age, and density calculations.

Is it capable of handling different coordinate frames?

Yes, it supports transformations between ICRS, Galactic, FK5, AltAz, and custom World Coordinate Systems (WCS).

Does it support FITS file analysis?

Absolutely. It handles reading and writing Header Data Units (HDUs), image data arrays, and modifying FITS headers efficiently.
