astronomR - Cosmic Insights: Statistical Frameworks for Astronomers

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.
