SpiceBaseCoordinateFrame#

class sunpy.coordinates.spice.SpiceBaseCoordinateFrame(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Base class for all frames generated to represent SPICE frames.

This class is not intended to be used directly and has no transformations defined.

Parameters:: obstime (tuple, list, str, pandas.Timestamp, pandas.Series, pandas.DatetimeIndex, datetime.datetime, datetime.date, numpy.datetime64, numpy.ndarray, astropy.time.Time) – The time of the observation. This is used to determine the position of solar-system bodies (e.g., the Sun and the Earth) as needed to define the origin and orientation of the frame.

Attributes Summary

`default_differential`	Default representation for differential data (e.g., velocity)
`default_representation`	Default representation for position data
`frame_attributes`
`frame_specific_representation_info`	Mapping for frame-specific component names
`name`

Methods Summary

Convert this coordinate to the Helioprojective frame.

default_differential#: Default representation for differential data (e.g., velocity)

frame_attributes = {'obstime': <sunpy.coordinates.frameattributes.TimeFrameAttributeSunPy object>}#

frame_specific_representation_info#: Mapping for frame-specific component names

Methods Documentation

to_helioprojective()[source]#

Convert this coordinate to the Helioprojective frame.

The center of the frame center is used as the observer of the Helioprojective frame.
