GSkyDir¶
The GSkyDir
class implements a direction on the sky, given either in equatorial (FK5 J2000) or Galactic coordinates.
The coordination transformation (a simple rotation) is checked in test_GSky.py
in Test.test_fk5_to_galactic()
.
The gammalib
results agree with PyAST within 10 milli-arcseconds for the whole sky.
Once we consider adding astronomical time and coordinate functionality to gammalib
, this might be a useful reference:
