pint.pulsar_mjd.PulsarMJDString
- class pint.pulsar_mjd.PulsarMJDString(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)[source]
Bases:
TimeFormat
Support full-accuracy reading and writing of pulsar MJDs in string form.
Methods
fill_value
(subfmt)Return a value corresponding to J2000 (2000-01-01 12:00:00) in this format.
set_jds
(val1, val2)Set internal jd1 and jd2 from val1 and val2.
to_value
([parent, out_subfmt])Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2 in specified
out_subfmt
.Attributes
in_subfmt
jd1
jd2
name
out_subfmt
precision
Time scale.
subfmts
value
- set_jds(val1, val2)[source]
Set internal jd1 and jd2 from val1 and val2. Must be provided by derived classes.
- classmethod fill_value(subfmt)
Return a value corresponding to J2000 (2000-01-01 12:00:00) in this format.
This is used as a fill value for masked arrays to ensure that any ERFA operations on the masked array will not fail due to the masked value.
- property scale
Time scale.
- 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 thevalue
property to compute the output. This is done by temporarily settingself.out_subfmt
and callingself.value
. This is required for legacy Format subclasses prior to astropy 4.0 New code should instead implement the value functionality into_value()
and then make thevalue
property be a simple call toself.to_value()
.- Parameters:
- Returns:
value – Array or masked array of formatted time representation values
- Return type:
numpy.array, numpy.ma.array
