Cutout#

class sunpy.net.jsoc.attrs.Cutout(bottom_left, top_right=None, width: Unit('arcsec') = None, height: Unit('arcsec') = None, tracking=False, register=False, nan_off_limb=False)[source]#

Bases: DataAttr

Select a cutout region.

The JSOC allows for users to request cutouts. This process is performed server side so as to allow users to download only the portions of the full-disk images they are interested in. For a detailed explanation of the routine used to perform these cutouts on the JSOC server, see http://jsoc.stanford.edu/doxygen_html/group__im__patch.html.

Parameters:
  • bottom_left (SkyCoord) – Coordinate for the bottom left corner of the cutout.

  • top_right (SkyCoord, optional) – Coordinate for the top right corner of the cutout. If this is not specified, both width and height must both be specified.

  • width (Quantity, optional) – Width of the cutout. If this parameter, along with height, is not specified, top_right must be specified.

  • height (Quantity, optional) – Height of the cutout. If this parameter, along with width, is not specified, top_right must be specified.

  • tracking (bool, optional) – If True, the field of view follows the rotation of the Sun

  • register (bool, optional) – If True, use sub-pixel registration when cropping to the target location.

  • nan_off_limb (bool, optional) – If True, all off-limb pixels are set to NaN
