Software, by Bob Nelson
All of this is is freeware; use as you wish. For Windows platforms only (sorry Linux, Mac).
Astronomy Software

Description |
| Astrotime | 42 | 2012-07-24 |
A utility that converts epochs, calculates HJD, horizon coordinates, and more. Now does sunrise and set. |
| 25f | 2012-07-24 |
The Rucinski routines to derive RVs from stellar spectra. | |
| Clear Skies | 13a | 2005-11-11 |
Saves Clear Sky Clock values to file. Source code using WebBrowser is useful example. |
| EB Min | 21 | 2012-07-24 |
Generates predictions of EB minima for your date, location, and local horizon. |
| Minima | 25c | 2007-05-10 |
Finds the precise times of minima for eclipsing binary (EB) data using 6 methods. |
| B_Minima | 12 | 2005-05-18 |
As above but handles huge files in batch mode (it searches for minima automatically). |
| 15f | 2006-07-12 |
Finds periods for EBs based on portions of light curves. | |
| Phases | 14b | 2012-07-24 |
Prints out, for a given night, the phases of various eclipsing binaries for each hour (visible at your location). Very effective. |
| RaVeRe | 22c | 2012-07-24 |
Does intermediate processing for spectral image files (and saves a ton of time over IRAF!!) |
| Sp_Analysis | 14 | 2007-05-10 |
Displays up to 10 spectra (with offsets adjustable), reads wavelengths under cursor, etc. [More features to come] |
| Tables2Tex | 10f | 2005-10-31 |
Converts text files with tables to Tex format. (It's great for IBVS publications!) |
| TomCat | 17e | 2007-05-10 | Finds periods for EBs based on times of minima. (It's hot!!) |
| VHLimb | 1.1 | 1994-05-20 | Program by Dr. Dirk Terrell that interpolates the van Hamme limb darkening tables |
| WDwint | 56a | 2009-06-27 | A front end interface for the Wilson-Devinney star modelling package. This upgrade has additional help and error traps. |
Physics Software
All of these programs are DOS-based. If there is interest in more modern Windows-based versions, please contact me at the address below and I'll see what I can do.

Routine |
Vers. | Date |
Description |
| Eq_Pot | 45 | 1992-06-19 | A routine that plots equipotential and electric field lines for electrodes that you draw. |
| 55 | 1992-05-02 | A number of physics functions (e.g., SHM, Planck, Maxwell, Fresnel diffraction, QM square well wave functions). | |
| Trajec | 26 | 1992-06-23 | Plots real trajectories in air for a number of common projectiles (e.g., baseballs, ping-pong balls, etc.). The effect of wind is allowed for. |
