Astropy [0] lives at the heart of most work. It has a Python interface, often backed by Fortran and C++ extension modules. If you use Astropy, you're indirectly using libraries like ERFA [6] and cfitsio [7] which are in C/Fortran.
I personally end up doing a lot of work that uses the HEALPix sky tesselation, so I use healpy [2] as well.
Openorb is perhaps a good example of a pure-Fortran package that I use quite. frequently for orbit propagation [3].
In C, there's Rebound [4] (for N-body simulations) and ASSIST [5] (which extends Rebound to use JPL's pre-calculated positions of major perturbers, and expands the force model to account for general relativity).
There are many more, these are just ones that come to mind from frequent usage in the last few months.

Project mention: A rudimentary simulation of the three-body problem | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02This is the source code for the popular ThreeBodyBot [0]
It contains a numerics tutorial [1] that au found very useful for my use case.

I'm trying to use this code (from here) but in Pytorch (it's an N-body simulation):
Hello!! I'm an 11th grade AP Research student and I need help running exoplanet simulations. All of the simulations lead me to GitHub repositories (which I don't know how to use) and the installation guides are confusing. I'm currently looking at VPLanet (link to GitHub repository | link to installation guide), as well as vplot, PandExo, and Exo-Transmit. If there are any other options for running models of simulations, please let me know! My research is studying hycean exoplanets and relating them to future exoplanet characterization space missions, and I want to simulate a planet's conditions as well as instrumentation.
Automated/template-free astronomical spectrograph/spectrometer calibration. Given an emission spectrum and a list of known wavelengths that you expect to see, we try and determine the pixel/wavelength relationship. Traditionally this would either be done with templates (convolve a known spectrum and see where it lines up) or by hand (identify peaks and pixels and shove them into Excel).
