* Package name : healpix-fortran Version : 3.60 Upstream Author : Martin Reinecke <mar...@mpa-garching.mpg.de> * URL : http://healpix.sourceforge.net * License : GPL Programming Lang: Fortran Description : HEALPix representation of spherical data - Fortran library HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel. It is commonly used to store all-sky astronomical images, most famously maps of the cosmic microwave background. This package provides the Fortran language implementation of HEALPix. This package has been requested by a fellow Debian member, Ole Streicher, to support the 4MOST instrumment (https://www.eso.org/sci/facilities/develop/instruments/4MOST.html). The package will be maintained by the Debian Astro Team.
