Sky2Pix_CylindricalEqualArea

class astropy.modeling.projections.Sky2Pix_CylindricalEqualArea(lam=1, **kwargs)

Bases: astropy.modeling.projections.Sky2PixProjection, astropy.modeling.projections.Cylindrical

Cylindrical equal area projection - sky to pixel.

Corresponds to the CEA projection in FITS WCS.

\[\begin{split}x &= \phi \\ y &= \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}\frac{\sin \theta}{\lambda}\end{split}\]

Parameters

lamfloat

Radius of the cylinder in spherical radii, λ. Default is 0.

Attributes Summary

lam
param_names	Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

Methods Summary

evaluate(phi, theta, lam)

Evaluate the model on some input variables.

Attributes Documentation

lam = Parameter('lam', value=1.0)

param_names = ('lam',)

Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

The parameters in this tuple are in the same order they should be passed in when initializing a model of a specific type. Some types of models, such as polynomial models, have a different number of parameters depending on some other property of the model, such as the degree.

When defining a custom model class the value of this attribute is automatically set by the Parameter attributes defined in the class body.

Methods Documentation

classmethod evaluate(phi, theta, lam)

Evaluate the model on some input variables.
