Good references for healpix: https://healpix.sourceforge.io/ https://healpix.jpl.nasa.gov/ https://healpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://astropy-healpix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (the code here is less mature, I think, and I’ve never used it) I recommend using healpix, but if you’re curious about HTM, here are some references: http://www.skyserver.org/htm/ https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0701164 the only python HTM library I know if is https://github.com/lsst/sphgeom
