Python get_coords Examples

Example #1

File: csv2fits.py Project: cbdc/veritas_lc

def resolve_name(name):
    from astropy.coordinates import get_icrs_coordinates as get_coords
    try:
        icrs = get_coords(name)
        pos = (icrs.ra.value, icrs.dec.value)
    except:
        pos = None
    return pos

Example #2

 def resolve_name(name):
     """
     Resolve object name, return its ICRS position in degrees
     """
     from astropy.coordinates import get_icrs_coordinates as get_coords
     try:
         icrs = get_coords(name)
         pos = (icrs.ra.value, icrs.dec.value)
     except:
         pos = None
     return pos

Example #3

File: object2position.py Project: astrobuff/swift_deepsky

def resolve_name(name):
    '''
    Return ICRS position for given object 'name'

    Input:
     - name : str
        Object designation/name
    Output:
     - position : (float,float)
        Tuple with (RA,Dec) coordinates in degree
