doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.astronomR
abstract: 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 and 'Saha'
  equation solutions, and the Drake equation for estimating the number of communicating
  extraterrestrial civilisations in the Milky Way.
