healpy

Python interfaces for HEALPix spherical pixelization and map analysis.

Visit the original source ↗

External resource. No execution or independent verification is claimed here.

A QUESTION TO TAKE FURTHER

Do pixel centers and equal-area weights recover the integral of a constant spherical map?

Compute the sphere's analytic area independently, freeze ordering and resolution, and compare indexing round trips and weighted sums.

What you could produce

  • A pinned, isolated reproducer with generated inputs and a concise result table
  • A separately controlled check report with fixed tolerances and disclosed limitations

Before you use it

  • A separately qualified runtime with the package and its reviewed, pinned dependency closure; no dependency installation is supported by the current self-contained Python pilot.

Limits to keep in view

  • No project source, package build hook, test, example, or submitted research command has been executed.
  • The documented pilot supports self-contained Python 3.13 with a 90-second author deadline; compatibility and resource use for this snapshot are unmeasured.

Before copying source material

  • Bundled datasets, examples, submodules, vendored code, and dependency licenses have not been audited; the observed top-level license does not clear all of them.
  • README and documentation rights were not independently resolved from the main code license; this catalog only links and describes.
