ch_ephem.pointing

CHIME ephemeris pointing routines.

Functions

  • py:meth:galt_pointing_model_ha

  • py:meth:galt_pointing_model_dec

Functions

galt_pointing_model_dec(ha_in, dec_in[, b])

Galt pointing model declination.

galt_pointing_model_ha(ha_in, dec_in[, a])

Galt pointing model hour angle.

ch_ephem.pointing.galt_pointing_model_dec(ha_in: Angle, dec_in: Angle, b: list[float] = [1.081, 0.707, -0.076, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]) Angle[source]

Galt pointing model declination.

Calculate pointing correction in declination for the Galt Telescope See description of the pointing model by Lewis Knee: CHIME doclib #754

Parameters:
  • ha_in (Skyfield Angle objects) – Target hour angle and declination

  • dec_in (Skyfield Angle objects) – Target hour angle and declination

  • b (list of floats) – List of coefficients (in arcmin) for the pointing model (NOTE: it is very unlikely that a user will want to change these from the defaults, which are taken from the pointing model as of 2019-2-15)

Returns:

correction – Angular offset in hour angle

Return type:

Angle
