FK4NoETerms

class astropy.coordinates.FK4NoETerms(*args, copy=True, representation_type=None, differential_type=None, **kwargs)

Bases: astropy.coordinates.builtin_frames.BaseRADecFrame

A coordinate or frame in the FK4 system, but with the E-terms of aberration removed.

The frame attributes are listed under Other Parameters.

Parameters

dataBaseRepresentation subclass instance

A representation object or None to have no data (or use the coordinate component arguments, see below).

raAngle, optional, must be keyword

The RA for this object (dec must also be given and representation must be None).

decAngle, optional, must be keyword

The Declination for this object (ra must also be given and representation must be None).

distanceQuantity, optional, must be keyword

The Distance for this object along the line-of-sight. (representation must be None).

pm_ra_cosdecQuantity, optional, must be keyword

The proper motion in Right Ascension (including the cos(dec) factor) for this object (pm_dec must also be given).

pm_decQuantity, optional, must be keyword

The proper motion in Declination for this object (pm_ra_cosdec must also be given).

radial_velocityQuantity, optional, must be keyword

The radial velocity of this object.

representation_typeBaseRepresentation subclass, str, optional

A representation class or string name of a representation class. This sets the expected input representation class, thereby changing the expected keyword arguments for the data passed in. For example, passing representation_type='cartesian' will make the classes expect position data with cartesian names, i.e. x, y, z in most cases unless overriden via frame_specific_representation_info. To see this frame’s names, check out <this frame>().representation_info.

differential_typeBaseDifferential subclass, str, dict, optional

A differential class or dictionary of differential classes (currently only a velocity differential with key ‘s’ is supported). This sets the expected input differential class, thereby changing the expected keyword arguments of the data passed in. For example, passing differential_type='cartesian' will make the classes expect velocity data with the argument names v_x, v_y, v_z unless overriden via frame_specific_representation_info. To see this frame’s names, check out <this frame>().representation_info.

copybool, optional

If True (default), make copies of the input coordinate arrays. Can only be passed in as a keyword argument.

Other Parameters

equinoxTime

The equinox of this frame.

obstimeTime

The time this frame was observed. If None, will be the same as equinox.
