mocpy.STMOC¶

class mocpy.STMOC(store_index)[source]¶

Time-Spatial Coverage class.

Is a Time-Spatial Coverage (ST-MOC).

Args:: create_key: Object ensure __init__ is called by super-class/class-methods only store_index: index of the ST-MOC in the rust-side storage

add_neighbours()¶

Extend the MOC instance so that it includes the HEALPix cells touching its border.

The depth of the HEALPix cells added at the border is equal to the maximum depth of the MOC instance.

Returns:

mocMOC: self extended by one degree of neighbours.

complement()¶

Return the complement of the MOC instance.

Returns:

resultMOC or TimeMOC: The resulting MOC.

contains(times, lon, lat, inside=True)[source]¶

Return a boolean mask array of the (times, positions) lying inside (or outside) the Space-Time coverage.

Parameters:

timesastropy.time.Time: The times of each sky coordinates.
lonastropy.units.Quantity: The longitudes of the sky coordinates observed at a specific time.
latastropy.units.Quantity: The latitudes of the sky coordinates observed at a specific time.
insidebool, optional: True by default. The returned mask array has true values for (time, position) lying inside the Space-Time coverage.

Returns:

arrayndarray: A mask boolean array

Raises:

ValueErrorIf times, lon and lat do not have the same length.

contracted()¶

Return the MOC contracted by removing the internal border made of cells at the MOC maximum depth.

The only difference with respect to remove_neighbours is that contracted returns a new MOC instead of modifying the existing one.

Returns:

mocMOC: The extended MOC

degrade_to_order(new_order)¶

Degrade the MOC instance to a new, less precise, MOC.

The maximum depth (i.e. the depth of the smallest cells that can be found in the MOC) of the degraded MOC is set to new_order.

Parameters:

new_orderint: Maximum depth of the output degraded MOC.

Returns:

mocMOC or TimeMOC: The degraded MOC.

empty()¶

(e.g. a numpy boolean array).

Returns:

result: bool: True if the MOC instance is empty.

extended()¶

Return the MOC extended by the external border made of cells at the MOC maximum depth.

The only difference with respect to add_neighbours is that extended returns a new MOC instead of modifying the existing one.

Returns:

mocMOC: The extended MOC

flatten()¶: Return the list of indices of all cells in the MOC at the MOC depth.

Return a np.array of the generic uniq indices of the cell in the MOC.

Warning

This is not defined in the MOC standard and is not HEALPix scpecific.

Notes

It consists on the regular index with a sentinel bit placed at the immediate left of the index’s MSB. At a given depth, the sentinel bit is always put o the same bit.
Because the uniq HEALPix encoding is not adapted for non-HEALPIx indices.

Warning

This is not defined in the MOC standard and is not HEALPix specific.

Notes

It consists on a regular index shifted on the left so that indices at all level have the same MSB. Plus a sentinel bit placed at the immediate right of the LSB.
Because the uniq HEALPix encoding is not adapted for non-HEALPIx indices AND because the natural ordering of such indices follow the same order as the zorder indices (which is very useful for streaming processing, e.g. when dealing with multi-order maps)

write(path, format='fits', overwrite=False, optional_kw_dict=None, pre_v2=False)¶
