HDF5 data files for PyGDSM: Python interface to Global Diffuse Sky Models

PyGDSM is a Python interface for the Global Diffuse Sky Models (GDSM ascl:1011.010). GDSM are models of diffuse galactic radio emission, constructed from a variety of all-sky surveys spanning the radio band (e.g. Haslam and WMAP). PyGDSM uses the Global Sky Model (GSM2008) of Oliveira-Costa et. al., (2008),  Zheng et. al., (2016) model GSM2016, and LWA1 Low Frequency Sky Model (LFSM). The PyGDSM module provides visualization utilities, file output in FITS format, and the ability to generate observed skies for a given location and date. PyGDSM requires Healpy, PyEphem (ascl:1112.014), and AstroPy (ascl:1304.002).
