btrg_catalog: MeerKLASS Bent-Tail Radio Galaxy Catalog Construction Workflow
Authors: Cao, Jie
Type: Software
Published: 2026-08-02
Keywords: radio astronomy, bent-tail radio galaxies, MeerKLASS, radio galaxy classification, source catalog

<p>This repository contains the core scripts, configuration files, and documentation used to construct and validate a catalog of bent-tail radio galaxies identified in the MeerKLASS survey.</p>
<p>This record contains version v1.0.0 of btrg_catalog, the software used to construct and validate the MeerKLASS bent-tail radio galaxy catalog presented in the associated manuscript.</p>
<p>The archived release includes Python source code, classifier configuration files, dependency information, workflow documentation, an MIT License, and machine-readable citation metadata. The software covers radio-source cutout generation, morphology-based candidate selection, BT/non-BT classification, catalog assembly, host identification, AllWISE cross-matching, opening-angle measurement, and spectral-index analysis.</p>
<p>The software is distributed as a ZIP archive of the tagged GitHub release. Installation requirements and workflow descriptions are provided in README.md and requirements.txt.</p>
<p>The original MeerKLASS FITS mosaics, HDF5 intermediate files, trained model checkpoints, generated images, and final catalog tables are not included in this software record. The final catalog and associated data products are released separately.</p>
<p>Some scripts contain paths specific to the original high-performance computing environment. Users must update the relevant input and output paths before running the workflow on another system.</p>

MontuPython: astronomical ephemerides for the ancient world

<p><strong>MontuPython</strong> is a Python package intended to compute astronomical ephemerides in the ancient world, thousands of years before present. It was initially designed to compute ephemerides for ancient Egypt, but it can also be used to study astronomical phenomena in other sites of interest for cultural astronomy (archaeoastronomy).</p><p>The package was originally developed to streamline calculations on archaeoastronomy that were previously performed manually using astronomical software such as Stellarium. While there are already outstanding libraries for positional astronomy—such as <a href="https://pypi.org/project/ephem/">PyEphem</a>, <a href="https://pypi.org/project/pyplanets/">pyplanets</a>, and <a href="https://pypi.org/project/pymeeus/">PyMeeus</a> (many of which make MontuPython possible)—our goal here is different. We aim to provide a tool that not only simplifies interaction with these libraries, but, more importantly, is specialized for the study of astronomical phenomena that occurred thousands of years ago.</p><p>While MontuPython places a special emphasis on ancient Egypt, the tool is broadly applicable to many other contexts. Its features are designed to support research across a diverse range of civilizations, making it a versatile resource for all archaeologists, historians, and cultural astronomers interested in humanity's relationship with the sky.</p><p>For detailed information on how to use the package, please refer to the <a href="https://montupython.readthedocs.io/">MontuPython Documentation on ReadTheDocs</a>.</p><p>Version 0.50.0 updates the package.
