Details

The package rcosmo offers various tools for

  • Downloading and transforming Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) and spherical data

  • Working with Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelation of a sphere (Healpix)

  • Spherical geometry

  • Statistical analysis of CMB and spherical data

  • Visualisation of Healpix data

Most of rcosmo features were developed for CMB, but it can also be used for other spherical data. It contains tools for transforming spherical data in cartesian and geographic coordinates to the Healpix representation.
