TimeMJD#

class astropy.time.TimeMJD(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)[source]#

Bases: TimeNumeric

Modified Julian Date time format.

This represents the number of days since midnight on November 17, 1858. For example, 51544.0 in MJD is midnight on January 1, 2000.

Methods Documentation

classmethod fill_value(subfmt)#

Return a value corresponding to J2000 (2000-01-01 12:00:00) in this format.

This is used as a fill value for masked arrays to ensure that any ERFA operations on the masked array will not fail due to the masked value.

set_jds(val1, val2)[source]#

Set internal jd1 and jd2 from val1 and val2. Must be provided by derived classes.

to_value(**kwargs)[source]#

Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2. Subclasses that require parent or to adjust the jds should override this method.
