Black Hole Physics API

healthy 4,656 Subscribers

Black-hole general-relativity maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The radius endpoint computes the Schwarzschild radius r_s = 2GM/c² — the event horizon of a non-rotating black hole — from a mass given in kilograms or solar masses, together with the photon sphere at 1.5·r_s and the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) at 3·r_s; the Sun would have an event horizon about 2.95 km across and the Earth about 9 mm. The time-dilation endpoint computes the gravitational time-dilation factor √(1 − r_s/r) at a distance r from a mass — a clock deep in a gravity well ticks slower than a far-away clock, and at the horizon time appears to stop. The hawking endpoint computes the Hawking temperature T = ħc³/(8πGMk_B), which is higher for smaller black holes, and the evaporation time, which scales as the cube of the mass — a solar-mass black hole would take about 10^67 years to evaporate. Masses are in kilograms or solar masses and distances in metres, using G, c, ħ and the Boltzmann constant. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for astrophysics, cosmology, science-communication, simulation and education app developers, black-hole and relativity tools, and physics teaching. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is general-relativity black-hole physics; for special relativity (Lorentz factor, E=mc²) use a relativity API.

Tidal Forces API — oanor API marketplace

Tidal Forces API

Tidal-physics and gravitational-dominance astrophysics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The tidal-force endpoint computes the tidal (differential) acceleration that stretches a body, a = 2·G·M·r/d³, from the primary mass, the radius (half-size) of the affected body and the centre-to-centre distance — and the force if a body mass is given; tidal effects fall off as the inverse cube of distance, far faster than gravity's inverse square, which is why they matter only close in. The roche-limit endpoint computes the Roche limit, the distance inside which tidal forces tear a satellite apart, for both rigid bodies, d = R·(2·ρM/ρm)^(1/3), and fluid bodies, d = 2.44·R·(ρM/ρm)^(1/3), from the primary radius and the two densities — Saturn's rings sit inside its Roche limit. The hill-sphere endpoint computes the Hill-sphere radius, r_H ≈ a·(1−e)·(m/3M)^(1/3), the region where a body's own gravity dominates so it can keep moons, from the orbital distance, eccentricity and the two masses. Masses are in kilograms, distances and radii in metres and densities in kg/m³, with G = 6.674×10⁻¹¹. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for astronomy, astrophysics, planetary-science, simulation and education app developers, ring-system and moon-stability tools, and physics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is tidal and gravitational-dominance physics; for Newtonian gravity use a gravitation API and for orbital periods an orbital-mechanics API.

Star Magnitude & Distance API — oanor API marketplace

Star Magnitude & Distance API

Stellar magnitude and distance maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The magnitude endpoint works the distance modulus, m − M = 5·log₁₀(d/pc) − 5 — give any two of the apparent magnitude m, the absolute magnitude M and the distance and it returns the third, with the distance in parsecs, light-years and astronomical units (the absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude a star would have at 10 parsecs). The flux endpoint applies Pogson's relation to turn a magnitude difference into a brightness ratio, F₁/F₂ = 10^(0.4·(m₂ − m₁)), where five magnitudes is exactly a hundredfold change in brightness — from two magnitudes, a magnitude difference or a ratio. The parallax endpoint converts a parallax angle into a distance, d(pc) = 1 ÷ p(arcseconds), and back, the geometric method behind the parsec itself. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for astronomy-education, planetarium, stargazing and science app developers, observing and astrophysics tools, and STEM teaching. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is stellar magnitude and distance; for orbital mechanics use an orbital API and for great-circle distances on Earth a geo-distance API.

Programming Languages API — oanor API marketplace

Programming Languages API

The language definitions GitHub uses to recognise code (the open-source Linguist data) as an API — a clean reference for syntax highlighting, file-type detection, repository dashboards and developer tooling. For each of 800+ languages the API returns its type (programming, markup, data or prose), its brand colour (the hex GitHub paints it), the file extensions associated with it, common aliases, the GitHub language id and the editor (ace) mode. Look a language up by name or alias (golang resolves to Go), reverse-look-up which language(s) own a file extension (.py → Python; .h → C, C++, Objective-C), list the languages of a type, search, or list them all. Distinct from languages-api (ISO 639 human languages) — this is the programming-language reference. Served from memory — always fast.

MIME Types API — oanor API marketplace

MIME Types API

The canonical MIME / media-type database (the jshttp mime-db used by Express and most of the Node ecosystem: IANA + Apache + nginx), served from memory — no key. Resolve a media type to its file extensions, charset and compressibility; reverse-lookup the media type(s) for a file extension (e.g. png → image/png); and search or list types by source. 2,600+ media types, 1,000+ with file extensions. Lean, predictable JSON. Ideal for upload validation, Content-Type resolution, file-type detection, download handlers and developer tooling.
