(lon, lat=None, height=None, copy=True)[source]¶ Bases:
astropy.coordinates.BaseRepresentation
Base geodetic representation.
- Parameters
- lon, lat
Longitude
,Latitude
or equivalent The longitude and latitude of the point(s), in angular units. The latitude should be between -90 and 90 degrees, and the longitude will be wrapped to an angle between 0 and 360 degrees. These can also be instances of
Quantity
,Angle
,Longitude
, orLatitude
.- height
Quantity
The height to the point(s).
- copybool, optional
If
True
(default), arrays will be copied. IfFalse
, arrays will be references, though possibly broadcast to ensure matching shapes.
- lon, lat
