We present astroplan - an open source, open development, Astropy affiliated package for ground-based observation planning and scheduling in Python. astroplan is designed to provide efficient access to common observational quantities such as celestial rise, set, and meridian transit times and simple transformations from sky coordinates to altitude-azimuth coordinates without requiring a detailed understanding of astropy's implementation of coordinate systems. astroplan provides convenience functions to generate common observational plots such as airmass and parallactic angle as a function of time, along with basic sky (finder) charts. Users can determine whether or not a target is observable given a variety of observing constraints, such as airmass limits, time ranges, Moon illumination/separation ranges, and more. A selection of observation schedulers are included which divide observing time among a list of targets, given observing constraints on those targets. Contributions to the source code from the community are welcome.

  1. Ultraviolet to Infrared Spectroscopy of the Type Ibn SN 2023tsz Suggests a Lower-mass Progenitor

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    UV-to-IR spectra of SN 2023tsz are best matched by interaction models of a ~4 solar-mass stripped helium star with an added X-ray field, supporting a lower-mass binary-stripped progenitor.

  2. POSyTIVE -- a GRB population study for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (ICRC-2019)

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    POSyTIVE is a simulation framework that combines GRB population synthesis with prompt and afterglow emission models to forecast CTA detection rates; this paper presents its design and early tests.
