Notes

To read a pre-2023 style IERS B file (usually named something like eopc04_IAU2000.62-now), do something like this example with an excerpt that is used for testing:

>>> from astropy.utils.iers import IERS_B
>>> from astropy.utils.data import get_pkg_data_filename
>>> old_style_file = get_pkg_data_filename(
...     "tests/data/iers_b_old_style_excerpt",
...     package="astropy.utils.iers")
>>> iers_b = IERS_B.read(
...     old_style_file,
...     readme=get_pkg_data_filename("data/ReadMe.eopc04_IAU2000",
...                                  package="astropy.utils.iers"),
...     data_start=14)
ut1_utc_source(i)[source]#

Set UT1-UTC source flag for entries in IERS table.
