A Multilingual Astronomy Tool to Facilitate Observation Preparation Processes: BRK-Astronomical Tools

This study describes the development of a software interface that is intended to make the scheduling of astronomical observations and the assessment of telescope suitability easier. Observer's geographical location, telescope specifications, and celestial objects' motions are all taken into account by the interface to optimize observation planning. The system, which was developed using Python and C#, integrates telescope selection, observer data management, HJD/BJD conversions, and observability analyses into a single platform. Astropy, NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib, among other scientific Python libraries, support the technical framework. Furthermore, the software retrieves astronomical data from the SIMBAD database and performs time system conversions (JD, HJD, BJD) with multilingual support. Data processing and visualization have been added to increase efficiency and allow for more accurate observation analysis. In summary, the created interface improves the efficiency and accuracy of astronomical observations by streamlining observational workflows and enabling precise time calculations, observability evaluations, and data transformations.
