Class Summary |
| Astrocoo |
This class defines the spherical coordinates used in Astronomy. |
| Astroformat |
This class contains definitions used in Parsing and Editing of numbers,
and the default representation of the NaN (null) value. |
| Astroframe |
This abstract class defines the required methods to instanciate the
definition of a frame used for astronomical coordinates. |
| AstroMath |
Trigonometric and a few other functions used in the astronomical context. |
| Astropos |
The class Astropos adds to Astrocoo the notions
of mouvement (proper motions, velocity) and error ellipses. |
| Astrotime |
The astronomical time may be expressed in (Modified) Julian Days,
Julian Years or Besselian years. |
| Converter |
This class, tightly connected to the Unit class,
gathers non-standard unit conversions. |
| Coo |
Class that manipulates the coordinates defining a point on the
celestial sphere. |
| Coocube |
The routines provided in this module define a "coordinate" as
a face number (between 1 and 6), and two (X,Y) values
in the range [-1,1[ representing the projection of a direction onto
a cube. |
| Ecliptic |
The ecliptic frame is defined such that the Sun has a latitude = 0. |
| Editing |
Class for 'nice' edition of numbers. |
| Equatorial |
This abstract class introduces the specificities of the equatorial
coordinates. |
| FK4 |
The FK4 is an equatorial coordinate system (coordinate system linked to
the Earth) based on its B1950 position. |
| FK5 |
The FK5 is an equatorial coordinate system (coordinate system linked to
the Earth) based on its J2000 position. |
| Galactic |
The Galactic frame is defined such that the plane of our Galaxy
(the Milky Way) has a latitude close to zero. |
| ICRS |
The ICRS frame (International Celestial Reference System) is defined
by the Hipparcos mission. |
| Mtype |
|
| Otype |
The Otype is a classification of the astronomical objects
in a hierarchical structure. |
| Parsing |
This class interprets text and is able to convert to numbers,
or find a symbol in a list of symbols. |
| Proj3 |
Class defining the Mathematical Projections of the Celestial Sphere. |
| Qbox |
The Qbox divides the celestial sphere into "cells" of approximative
constant size. |
| QboxNumber |
The QboxNumber is just a number representing a cell
of the celestial sphere. |
| Supergal |
The Supergalactic frame is defined such (0,0) represents the direction
toward the center of the Local Group of galaxies. |
| Unit |
Class able to deal with scientific units and make the appropriate
conversions. |
