TimeFITS¶

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

Bases: astropy.time.TimeString

FITS format: “[±Y]YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM:SS[.sss]]”.

ISOT but can give signed five-digit year (mostly for negative years);

The allowed subformats are:

‘date_hms’: date + hours, mins, secs (and optional fractional secs)
‘date’: date
‘longdate_hms’: as ‘date_hms’, but with signed 5-digit year
‘longdate’: as ‘date’, but with signed 5-digit year

See Rots et al., 2015, A&A 574:A36 (arXiv:1409.7583).

value¶: Convert times to strings, using signed 5 digit if necessary.

Methods Documentation

format_string(str_fmt, **kwargs)¶

Write time to a string using a given format.

By default, just interprets str_fmt as a format string, but subclasses can add to this.

mask_if_needed(value)¶

parse_string(timestr, subfmts)[source]¶: Read time and deprecated scale if present

set_jds(val1, val2)¶: Parse the time strings contained in val1 and set jd1, jd2

str_kwargs()¶: Generator that yields a dict of values corresponding to the calendar date and time for the internal JD values.

to_value(parent=None, out_subfmt=None)¶

Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2 in specified out_subfmt.

This is the base method that ignores parent and uses the value property to compute the output. This is done by temporarily setting self.out_subfmt and calling self.value. This is required for legacy Format subclasses prior to astropy 4.0 New code should instead implement the value functionality in to_value() and then make the value property be a simple call to self.to_value().

Parameters

parentobj: Parent Time object associated with this TimeFormat object
out_subfmtstr or None: Output subformt (use existing self.out_subfmt if None)

Returns

valuenumpy.array, numpy.ma.array: Array or masked array of formatted time representation values
