Module Hierarchy

• coords: Package: AstroLib Coords
  • position: Position object to manage coordinate transformations
  • angsep: Angular separation between two Positions.
  • astrodate: For more information about astronomical date specifications, consult a reference source such as this page provided by the US Naval Observatory.
  • pytpm
  • pytpm_wrapper: This routine wraps the pytpm.blackbox routine in order to apply the longitude convention preferred in coords.

Class Hierarchy

• coords.angsep.AngSep: The AngSep class lets the user compare the angular separation between different position.Positions without having to think too much about units.
• coords.astrodate.BesselDate:  
• coords.astrodate.JulianDate:  
• coords.position.Coord: General class for subclasses.
  • coords.position.Degrees: Decimal degrees coord
  • coords.position.Hmsdms: Sexagesimal coord: longitude in hours of time (enforced)
  • coords.position.Radians: Radians coord
• coords.position.Position: The basic class in the coords library.
